Question

If Amy Van swam her recordbreaking 50 m by swimming to one end of the pool, then turning around and swimming back to her starting position, what would her average velocity be​

Answer 1

zero

Explanation:

You want Amy Van's average velocity when she swims 50 m to the end of the pool and back.

Average velocity

Average velocity is the ratio of the change in position to the amount of time over which that change occurs. When Amy ends up where she started, she has not changed position at all, so her average velocity is ...

Vave = (change in position)/time = 0/time = 0

Her average velocity is zero.
