The average velocity of the train is 31.3 mph going west. The train has a bigger distance then displacement. To make the trip in 10 hours they would have to go 71.1 mph.

The average velocity of the train is 31.3 mph west. The train would have a greater distance because displacement would be a straight line while distance has more bumps therefore it would be longer and add more distance and time. The train would have to move at 71.1 mph to make the trip in 10 hours.

The average velocity of the train is 32 mph West. The train had a greater distance on this trip because the displacement would be in a straight line and that would make the displacement shorter. The train would have to travel 55 mph to get to Chicago in 13 hours.

Ok, so this train’s average speed is going 32.6 mph with the distance being greater than its displacement. The approximate time it takes to get from New York to Chicago is 8 hours so it would be at 90.6mph.

Velocity
Velocity means the speed of an object and direction of its motion.

Natalie g said...

Reference point
A reference point is an object that doesn’t move but is next to an object that moved.

Andrew and Zach B said...

Motion: something that is moving, or just a verb Example:walking, jogging, running, or sprinting.
