A motorist drives south at 10.0 m/s for 3.00 min, then turns west and travels at 15.0 m/s for 2.00 min, and finally travels northwest at 20.0 m/s for 1.00 min. For this 6.00-min trip, find the average velocity. Let the positive x axis point east.
Compute your average velocity in the following two cases: (a) You walk 90.4 m at a speed of 1.98 m/s and then run 90.4 m at a speed of
3.80 m/s along a straight track. (b) You walk for 1.00 min at a speed of 1.98 m/s and then run for 1.71 min at 3.80 m/s along a straight
track.
