Question

An insect crawls a distance of 4 m along north in 10 s and then a distance of 3 m along east in 5 s .find average velocity of the insect?

Answer 1

Answer:

Average velocity = total displacement / time taken

If you draw the situation on paper you would get the displacement using Pythagoras theorem

Displacement = 5m

Time taken = 15s

Average velocity = 5/15 = 1/3 m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

4+5÷10+5=7÷15=0.46
