A race car traveling northward on a straight, level track at a constant speed travels 0.739 km in 18.0 s. The return trip over the same track is made in 23.0 s.What is the average velocity (in m/s) for the total trip?answer in : m/s

Respuesta :

The average velocity of an object is given by:

[tex]\begin{gathered} v=\frac{\Delta x}{t} \\ \text{ where }\Delta x\text{ is the displacement and }t\text{ is the time } \end{gathered}[/tex]

In this case we know that the car travelled a track and the return on it; this means that the displacement of the car is zero and therefore, the average velocity is zero
