Question

car travels 80 meters due north in 12 seconds then the car turns around and travels 30 Mi do South in 4 seconds calculate the average speed and average velocity of the car during this 60-second interval use guess method​

Answer 1

1) 3.1 m/s

2) 7 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance due north = 80 m

Distance due south = 30 m

Distance between north and south = (80 - 30) m = 50 m

Total time = (12 + 4) sec = 16 sec

1) Average speed = 50/16 = 3.1 m/s

2) Average velocity = Total distance/total time = (80 + 30) m/16 s = 110/16 = 7 m/s
