Answer:
Average velocity is 7.27m/s.
Explanation:
Given the following parameters;
Distance (d) = 40m
Time (t) = 5.5secs
Velocity =?
Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time.
Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;
[tex]Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
[tex]V = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
Substituting into the above equation;
[tex]V = \frac{40}{5.5}[/tex]
V = 7.27m/s
Hence, Rita's average velocity is 7.27m/s.
