(a) Give two differences between average speed and average velocity. (b) For an object that
undergoes some motion starting at one point and ending at different point, what does the
average value of the speed (or velocity) tell you about the motion of the object on this trip and
what does the instantaneous value of speed (or velocity) tell you about the motion of the
object on this trip? (c) On a position versus time graph how do you determine the average
velocity and the instantaneous velocity? (d) Illustrate your answer to (c) with a position
versus time graph. (e) Why is the instantaneous speed always the magnitude of the
instantaneous velocity?

- I am having trouble with an average speed problem. The problem states that a person walks at 4.5 meters per second from point a to b. Then walks back from point b to a at a speed of 3.2 m/s. I know that average speed is displacement/time. However I am not sure how to calculate time or displacement from the two givens. The problem also gives that the average velocity is 0.arrow_forwardA man and a woman both walked towards each other on a straight path but started at the opposite ends. Assuming they take the same step at a time, and that the woman is only 2/3 of the man's pace factor, and the length of the path is 100 meters. How many steps did they take before they were really close to each other if the man's pace factor is 0.76/pace?arrow_forwardYou travel from point A to point B in a car moving at a constant speed of 70km/h. Then you travel the same distance from point B to another point C, moving at a constant speed of 90km/h. Is your average speed for theentire trip from A to C equal to 80km/h. Explain why or why not.arrow_forward
