It has no direction. • Distance ≥ 0 • speed: how fast the distance is covered. It has no direction. • Speed ≥ 0 • Average x-speed: the distance traveled ∆s divided by the time interval ∆t .

6. ∆x x2 – x1 vav-x = = ∆t t2 – t1 Displacement, Time, and Average Velocity • Displacement: change in position, it is a vector quantity. Its direction is from start to end. ∆x = x2 – x1 • ∆x Displacement can be zero, positive or negative. • positive if you move to the positive direction • negative if you move to the negative direction. • velocity: the rate of change in position, it is a vector quantity. It has the same direction as its motion. • Velocity is positive if ∆x is positive • Velocity is negative is ∆x is negative. • Average x-velocity: the displacement, ∆x, divided by the time interval ∆t .

7. Average speed vs. average velocity • Average speed is not the magnitude of average velocity. Let's suppose Taylor covered each leg of her journey in one second. This means that the total time for her trip was 6 seconds. Average speed = 12 m/ 6s = 2 m/s Average velocity = 3 m / 6 s = 0.5 m/s Direction of velocity is east

14. solution x D • vRick = D / tRick • vRick = 2(vr∙vw) ∕ (vw + vr ) D/2 t ½ tTim tTim tRick a. • Tim wins because he takes short time to cover the same distance as Rick. • tRick = (D ∕ 2)/vr + (D/2)/ vw • tRick = D/2vr + D/2vw • vr∙(tTim/2) + vw∙(tTim/2) = D • tTim= 2D/(vr + vw)
