scott and jafar are ready to work a problem. in this simulation, assume the coordinates of the points are as follows. a (0 s, 30 m); b (10 s, 50 m); c (20 s, 38 m); d (30 s, 0 m); e (40 s, −38 m); and f (50 s, −50 m) recall the definitions of average speed, vavg ≡ d δt , and average velocity in the x direction, vx ,avg ≡ δx δt . find the average velocity from circled a to circled b.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

point a represents time 0 and position coordinate 30

point b represents time 10 s , and position coordinate 50 m .

time elapsed = 10 - 0 = 10 s .

displacement = 50 m - 30 m

= 20 m

average velocity = displacement / time elapsed

= 20 / 10

= 2 m /s .
