Question

George walks to a friend's house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his speed per second? What is his velocity in meters per second?

Answer 1

The velocity in meter per seconds is 76.9m/s

Explanation:

The total distance walked is 1000m

Velocity= distance/time

= 1000/13

= 76.9m/s

The speed and velocity is used interchangeably therefore the speed is also 76.9 m/s
