Math Problem Statement
vavg = (Δx1 + Δx2)/(t1 + t2)
You have a first displacement of Δx1 = -2.2 m, and a first time of t1 = 7.4 s. You have a second displacement of Δx2 = -11.6 m, and a second time of t2 = 10.9 s. What is the average velocity vavg? Answer with two decimal places.
Solution
Let's calculate the average velocity (vavg) using the given formula and values.
Given values:
delta_x1 = -2.2 # first displacement in meters t1 = 7.4 # first time in seconds delta_x2 = -11.6 # second displacement in meters t2 = 10.9 # second time in seconds
Formula for average velocity:
vavg = (delta_x1 + delta_x2) / (t1 + t2)
Calculating the average velocity and rounding to two decimal places
vavg_rounded = round(vavg, 2) vavg_roundedThe average velocity is .
