Give an example of a scenario where the magnitude of the average velocity of an object is zero while the average speed of the object is not zero.

Consider a grey squirrel falling from a tree to the ground. Use a coordinate system in which positive is downward for this problem. a) Find the squirrel’s velocity, in meters per second, just before hitting the ground when it falls from a height of 1.3 m. Ignore air resistance.  b) The squirrel softens its landing by bending its legs when it touches the ground, thereby stopping itself over a distance of 7.6 cm. Assuming a constant rate of deceleration, find the squirrel’s acceleration during this process, in meters per second squared.

Could I have help with this average speed and velocity problem. I already know the answers"average velocity = 2.7 m/s due east, ­average speed = 8.0 m/s"  but I need a detailed explanantion on how and why because I am not understanding and getting the same answers

A graph of position versus time for a certain particle moving along the x-axis is shown in the figure below. Find the average velocity in the following time intervals. x (m) 6 M 4 2 0 t(s) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 -2 10 8 (a) 0 to 2.00 s (b) 0 to 4.00 s m/s m/s (c) 2.00 s to 4.00 s m/s (e) 0 to 8.00 s (d) 4.00 s to 7.00 s m/s m/s
