At time t=0, the initial position of an object Is -1.59m. Three seconds later its position is 2.63m and finally it moves to the position 10.77m for a total time of five seconds. The average velocity is (in m/s):
To calculate the average velocity, we need to divide the change in position by the change in time.
Given that the initial position at time t=0 is -1.59m and the final position after five seconds is 10.77m, we can find the change in position by subtracting the initial position from the final position:
Change in position = Final position - Initial position
Change in position = 10.77m - (-1.59m)
Change in position = 12.36m
The change in time is given as five seconds.
Average velocity = Change in position / Change in time
Average velocity = 12.36m / 5s
So the average velocity is 2.472 m/s.
