Question

An acorn falls 10 meters in 4 seconds. What is its average velocity?

Answer 1

Average velocity, V = 2.5m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data

Displacement = 10m

Time = 4secs

Average velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, average velocity is given by the equation;

`Velocity = (displacement)/(time)`

`V = (d)/(t)`

Substituting into the above equation;

`V = (10)/(4)`

Average velocity, V = 2.5m/s
