You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a man walks 500 m due east in 200 seconds and then 150 m due west in 50seconds calculate his average speed and his average velocity for the whole journey
:
Av Speed = total dist traveled / total time
s = %28500%2B150%29%2F%28200%2B50%29
s = 2.6 m/sec
:
Av velocity = Change in position / time
v = %28500-150%29%2F%28200%2B50%29
v = 1.4 m/sec
