Answer: 0.0125 m/s west
Explanation:
The velocity of an object is defined as the rate of change of the position of the object per unit time. In formulas:
[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]
where
d is the displacement (which is the diffence between the final and starting position of the object)
t is the time
In this problem, the displacement is just d=1.00 m (west), because this is just the difference between the final position (1.00 m west of the starting line) and the starting point). The time taken is t=80.0 s, so the average velocity is
[tex]v=\frac{1.00 m}{80.0 s}=0.0125 m/s[/tex]
