"What is the magnitude of the amount of the average velocity for this trip?" I have to find avg velocity. I have the answer on my study guide, the answer is 2. I just want to know how to get to 2 so i can perform it on the test

well he ran the whole triangle once which is 3 sides and then he ran 2 more sides which makes 5 total. his total displacement doesn't matter though am i correct? His displacement is just 1 side. and he runs each side in 2 seconds because 10 seconds divided by 5 sides is 2. i know the answer is 2...

Wait i think i get where you are taking me. the displacement is 53.5 meters. He ran 5 sides of the triangle in 10 seconds. 10 divided by 5 = 2. The answer is 2 because it takes him 2 seconds to get from where he started to where he ended? I know the answer is 2, but is that why. Thank echild

that does not help me at all

Homework Statement A person runs around an equilateral triangle. Each side is 53.3 meters. The person runs completely around the triangle once and 2/3's of the way around the triangle, and the average speed for this trip is 10 m/s. What is the magnitude of the amount of the average velocity...
