Answer:
Average Velocity = - 1.22 cm/s = - 0.0122 m/s
Explanation:
The average velocity of an object is defined as the ratio of the total distance traveled by the object to the total time taken by the object to cover the distance. Therefore, the average velocity of an object can be found by the following formula:
Average Velocity = Total Distance Covered/Total Time Taken
Average Velocity = (Final Position - Initial Position)/Total Time Taken
Average Velocity = (3.7 cm - 6.5 cm)/(2.3 s)
Average Velocity = (- 2.8 cm)/(2.3 s)
Average Velocity = - 1.22 cm/s = - 0.0122 m/s
here, the negative sign indicates the direction of the velocity or the movement of the object is leftwards or towards the origin approaching from right.
