Complete Question
A rolling ball moves from [tex]x_1 = 8.0 \ cm[/tex] to [tex]x_2 = - 4.1 \ cm[/tex] during the time from [tex]t_1 = 2.9 s[/tex] to [tex]t_2 = 6.0s[/tex]
What is its average velocity over this time interval?
Answer:
The velocity is [tex]v = 3.903 \ m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The first position of the ball is [tex]x_1 = 8.0 \ cm[/tex]
The second position of the ball is [tex]x_2 = - 4.1 \ cm[/tex]
Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as
[tex]v = \frac{ x_1 - x_2}{t_2 - t_1}[/tex]
=> [tex]v = \frac{ 8 - -4.1 }{ 6 - 2.9 }[/tex]
=> [tex]v = 3.903 \ m/s[/tex]
