Average velocity for 80 m east in 20 s

Solution

Physics · Easy

Assumptions: east is the positive direction, and displacement is 80 m east.
Use v_avg = Delta x / Delta t.
v_avg = 80 m / 20 s
v_avg = 4.0 m/s east
Average velocity includes direction, so the result is 4.0 m/s east.

Result

4.0 m/s east
