A velocity can be negative based on your coordinate system. Is it possible to have a negative speed? Why/why not?
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 sports car driver turned his car 15.0 km [E 30.0° N], and then turned again 30.0 km [W 45.0° N] to get back on track. If the diversion lasted a total of 2.00 minutes, what was the average velocity of the car, in m/s? Include diagrams to help you solve the question.
