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.
