Answer:

See the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed = total distance traveled/total time taken

In order to determine the total distance traveled by the coach, consider the attached image.

Distance covered:

30 yd. line to 10 yd. line (A to B)= 20 yds

10 yd. line to 50 yd. line (B to C) = 40 yds

50 yd. line to 20 yd. line (C to D) = 30 yds

Total distance covered = 20 + 40 + 30 = 90 yds

Time taken = 200 seconds

Average Speed = 90/200 = 0.45 yd/s

Velocity = speed with direction

Hence,

His Velocity = 0.45 yd/s to the left of his starting point.
