An object moves 20 m east in 30 s and then returns to its starting point taking an additional 50 s. If west is chosen as the positive direction, what is the sign associated with the average velocity of the object

Sagot :

The sign associated with the average velocity of the object is negative.

Average velocity of the object

The average velocity of the object is calculated as follows;

Average velocity = (v1 + v2)/2

v1 = -20/30 = -0.667 m/s

v2 = 20/50 = 0.4 m/s

Average velocity = (-0.667 + 0.4)/2

Average velocity  = -0.134 m/s

Thus, the sign associated with the average velocity of the object is negative.
