  1. 20 meters/second 
  2. 20 meters/second northeast
drag and drop the selected option to the right place or type it instead
velocity
speed
POINTS (1)

Correct Answer

Explanation

The defining equation for velocity is

  1. v = d / t
  2. v = d * t
  3. v = t / d
  4. v = (t * d)2

Explanation

Why quantities in velocity equation are in bold face although it is defined same way as speed equation

v = d / t

POINTS (1)

Correct Answer

Explanation

Symbol d in velocity equation

is called object's displacement and defined as the _______-line distance from object's starting position to its final position, including the direction from start to finish

Jogger Example

Suppose a jogger leaves her house and jogs north 300 meters to the streetlamp on the corner.  She turns west, jogs another 300 meters, and gets the oak tree 2 minutes after leaving home

  1. Which of the three distances given in the figure is the displacement d?
  2. What is the jogger's average velocity? 
  3. What is the total distance (not displacement) travelled? 
  4. What is the average speed (not velocity) during the 2 minutes? 

 

drag and drop the selected option to the right place or type it instead
