Answer:
v = 0.8 m/s (west)
Explanation:
Given that,
An animal runs 4 meters east, and then 4 meters west, all in 10 seconds.
We need to find animal's velocity.
Displacement of animal = final position - initial position
= -4-4
= - 8 m
Average velocity = total displacement/time
So,
[tex]v=\dfrac{-8}{10}\\\\v=-0.8\ m/s[/tex]
So, the animal's velocity is 0.8 m/s due west.
