Given information

A particle at is at    is at    and at     
is at .

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The formula for average velocity is

The given distances and time are the following:

x1 = 4.8 cm, t1 = -2.0 s

x2 = 8.5 cm, t2 = 4.5 s

 Substituting the given to the formula, we get:

No information on the path taken (total distance),
only the change in displacement,
(no indication of how the particle changes position.
Average speed ={total \ distance}\over{time} 
time
total distance
 .
can not be computed
with given information.
