Question

A student walks to the right, 25 meters along the hallway in15 seconds. The student turns around and walks 15 meters to the left in 8.0 seconds. What is the average speed and the average velocity?

(V represents average speed and ?V represents average velocity)

V=1.7 m/s;  ?V = 1.7 m/s
V=1.7 m/s;  ?V = .43 m/s
V=.43 m/s;  ?V = .43 m/s
V=.58 m/s;  ?V = 1.7 m/s
