Answer:
1.) 400s
2.) 1.875 m/s
3.) 1.125 m/s
Explanation:
Given that you traveled 150.meters south at a speed of 1.50m/s,
Time = distance/ speed
Substitute speed and distance into the formula
Time = 150/1.5
Time = 100 s
and then traveled 600. Meters north at a rate of 2.00 m/s.
Time = 600 / 2
Time = 300 s
1.) Total time = 100 + 300
Total time = 400 s
2.) The average speed will be total distance travelled over total time.
Total distance travelled = 150 + 600
Total distance travelled = 750 m
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
Average speed = 750/400
Average speed = 1.875 m/s
3.) Average velocity will be displacement over total time
Displacement = 600 - 150
Displacement = 450 m
Average velocity = 450/400
Average velocity = 1.125 m/s
