  • Calculating Average Velocity: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to calculate your average velocity:

    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.
