Question

As shown in the figure below, a squirrel is looking for nuts. it runs rightward 10m and runs leftwards another 20m to a second nut. The total time spent running was 12s. What is the squirrels average velocity to reach the second nut?

Answer 1

Answer:

Average velocity = 0.83 m/s

Explanation:

Computation:

Total displacement = 20 - 10 = 10 m

Time taken = 12 second

Average velocity = Total displacement / Time taken

Average velocity = 10 /12

Average velocity = 0.83 m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

Velocity: -0.83

Average speed: 2.5
