A dog runs at 21 km/h [N] for 5.0 min, slows to a stop over a period of 8.0 s, sniffs at a tree for 2.0 min, and then takes off, starting with an acceleration of 1.0 m/s2 [E] until it reaches a velocity of 3.5 m/s [E], at which it continues for 3.0 min. What was its average velocity for this entire time period?

Question

A dog runs at 21 km/h [N] for 5.0 min, slows to a stop over a period of 8.0 s, sniffs at a tree for 2.0 min, and then takes off, starting with an acceleration of 1.0 m/s2 [E] until it reaches a velocity of 3.5 m/s [E], at which it continues for 3.0 min. What was its average velocity for this entire time period?
