Understanding Velocity
* Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
* Average velocity is calculated by dividing the total displacement by the total time taken.
Calculation
1. Displacement: You traveled 100 meters North. This is your displacement.
2. Time: You traveled for 5 seconds.
3. Average Velocity:
* Velocity = Displacement / Time
* Velocity = 100 meters North / 5 seconds
* Velocity = 20 meters per second North
Therefore, your average velocity is 20 meters per second North.
