- Tired, you walk from your house to a local coffee shop to get an espresso. You average a speed of 2.4 m/s on your way there. After your espresso, you decide to run directly back to your starting point with an average speed of 5.6 m/s. Assume you spend 4 minutes at the coffee shop. If your average speed for this entire trip is 1.9 m/s, what is the distance between your house and the coffee shop?arrow_forwardAn object moves in along the x-axis with an acceleration given by: a = 9t (m/s2). The position of the object at t=0.0 is 5 m, and its velocity at t=0.0 s is 7 m/s. Calculate the position at t=8 s.arrow_forwardShown below is a graph of velocity-versus-time for a moving object.
