Veronica’s velocity was measured as 4.3 m/s. She displaced 20 meters in 4.7 seconds. Which piece of information is missing for the correct calculation of velocity?A)the starting pointB)the directionC)the end pointD)the time per meter
Question
Answer:
We are given displacement = 20 meters.Time given = 4.7 seconds.Velocity = 4.3 m/s.Please note : Velocity is a vector quantity. A vector quantity depends on magnitude and direction as well.We are given magnitude of displacement = 20 meter and time 4.7 seconds but the direction is missing there.If it would be in forward direction it would be positive and if it would be in backward direction, it would be of negative. Therefore, "B)the direction" is correct option.
