How Do You Calculate Average Velocity in Vector Notation?

[Blink691]

This figure attached gives the path of a squirrel moving about on level ground, from point A (at time t = 0), to points B (at t = 6.00 min), C (at t = 12.0 min), and finally D (at t = 18.0 min). Both axes are marked in increments of 10.0 m (therefore the diagram is not drawn to scale). Consider the average velocities of the squirrel from point A to each of the other three points.

(a) Of the three average velocities, which has the least magnitude?
A, B, or C?

What is this average velocity in magnitude-angle notation?
______m/s, ° (counterclockwise from the positive x axis)

(b) Which has the greatest magnitude?
A, B, or C?

What is this average velocity in magnitude-angle notation?
_______m/s, ° (counterclockwise from the positive x axis)
