Average Velocity and Average Speed in Rectilinear Kinematics
Physics · Physics — University
Question
A particle travels along a straight-line path such that in 4 s it moves from an initial position $s_A = -8$ m to a position $s_B = +3$ m. Then in another 5 s it moves from $s_B$ to $s_C = -6$ m. Determine the particle's average velocity and average speed during the 9-s time interval.
