The average velocity of the rolling ball.
Answer to Problem 5P
Average velocity is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Rolling ball moves from
Formula used:
Average velocity
Calculation:
For the motion in one direction, average speed and average velocity have the same magnitude.
Substituting the given values,
Average velocity is negative. This means that the rolling ball is moving to the left along the x-axis.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the average velocity is
