The instructions seem pretty clear to me. What part of them don't you understand?

Per the Rules of this forum, you need to show some effort at solving your problem before we can provide any help.
 

1. What is the definition of initial velocity?

The initial velocity, also known as the initial speed, is the velocity of an object at the start of its motion.

2. Why is it important to calculate the magnitude of the initial velocity?

Calculating the magnitude of the initial velocity allows us to understand the starting conditions of an object's motion and make predictions about its future movement.

3. How is the magnitude of initial velocity calculated?

The magnitude of initial velocity is calculated by dividing the displacement of the object by the time it takes to travel that distance.

4. What units are used to measure initial velocity?

The units used to measure initial velocity are distance over time, such as meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).

5. What factors can affect the magnitude of initial velocity?

The magnitude of initial velocity can be affected by external forces, such as gravity or air resistance, as well as the mass and shape of the object.
