Question

Consider motion in one dimension. (The sign of the vector quantities is their direction indicator.) An object moves in the positive x-direction with speed 5.5 m/s for 3.1 s. It stops for 2.2 s and then moves in the negative x direction with speed 2.9 m/s for 4.6 s. What is the average velocity of this object in units of m/s?

Step 1

Displacement is the change in position of the object and is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction. The object moves in the positive x-direction with a speed of 5.5 m/s for 3.1 s. The displacement during this interval is given Show more…
