Answer to Question #101156 in Mechanics | Relativity for Brooklyn Burnett

Question

What is the average velocity of a dog that takes 5.0s to run forward 16m

Answer 1

Given that,

Distance covered by the object = 16m

and time taken by the object to cover the 16m distance = 5.0 sec

We know that average velocity = total displacement traveled by the object /total time taken by the object.

Hence, average velocity $\dfrac{16}{5}=3.2m/sec$
