A person travelled along the x-axis for 5.5 seconds. The person's final and initial positions are -1.0 m and 10.0 m respectively. What is the person's average velocity? a) 2.0 m/s
b) 1.6 m/s
c) -1.6 m/s
d) -2.0 m/s

Respuesta :

Answer:

d) -2.0 m/s

Explanation:

Time taken by the man is 5.5 seconds

Final position = -1 m = [tex]x_f[/tex]

Initial position = 10 m = [tex]x_i[/tex]

Total distance covered

[tex]\Delta x=x_f-x_i\\\Rightarrow x=-1-10=-11\ m[/tex]

Velocity = Distance / Time

[tex]v=\frac{-11}{5.5}\\\Rightarrow v=-2\ m/s[/tex]

∴ Person's average velocity is -2m/s
