Question

1. you take a walk around the block and return to your starting point. because you are in new london, all the sides are different lengths: 400m, 200m, 80m and 150m. find your: a. distance walked b. displacement c. average velocity

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate distance

Distance is the total path length covered. Add the lengths of all sides.
$400 + 200+80 + 150=830$ m

Step2: Determine displacement

Displacement is the straight - line distance from the initial to the final point. Since the person returns to the starting point, the displacement is 0 m.

Step3: Analyze average velocity

Average velocity is displacement divided by time. Since displacement is 0 m, average velocity is 0 m/s (assuming time $t>0$).

Answer:

a. 830 m
b. 0 m
c. 0 m/s
