AP Physics C Electricity & Magnetism › Understanding Velocities
The velocity (in meters per second) of a moving particle is given by the following function:
If the particle's initial position is 0m, what is the position of the particle after two seconds?
This morning you walked 20 meters to the right from your house to the bus stop, which took you 20 seconds. You waited at the bus stop for 1 minute before realizing you forgot your physics homework at home. You ran back to your house in 5 seconds. It took you 10 seconds to find your homework, and then you ran back to the bus stop in 5 seconds just in time to catch the bus. What was your average velocity for the entire period of motion?
