Question

4 multiple choice 0.5 points video (timestamp ~9:23): in the same example, the displacement is 2 km to the right in 2 hr. what is the average velocity? 1 km/hr to the left 9 km/hr to the right 0.5 km/hr to the right 1 km/hr to the right

Explanation:

Step1: Recall average velocity formula

Average velocity is defined as $\text{Average Velocity} = \frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time Elapsed}}$

Step2: Substitute given values

Displacement = 2 km (right), Time = 2 hr
$\text{Average Velocity} = \frac{2\ \text{km}}{2\ \text{hr}} = 1\ \text{km/hr}$ (direction matches displacement, right)

Answer:

1 km/hr to the right
