1. The average velocity from point O to A is vOA= +2.0 m/s.
Explanation:
The average velocity is v= displacement /time. Velocity requires net
displacement in its equation while speed uses total distance traveled.
vOA = (xA−xO) / tA−tO = (2−0) / (1−0) = +2.0 m/s
2. The average velocity for the motion from point O to point B is vOA= 0.0 m/s.
Explanation:
vOA = (xB−xO) / tB−tO = (0−0) / (3−0) = 0.0 m/s
3. The average speed for the motion from point O to point B is sOB = +1.33 m/s
Explanation:
The average speed is s= distance / time.
sOB = (|xA−xO|+|xB−xA|) tB − tO = (2 + 2) / (3−0) = +1.33 m/s
