Veronica’s velocity was measured as 4.3 m/s. She displaced 20 meters in 4.7 seconds. Which piece of information is missing for the correct calculation of velocity?

A) the direction
B) the end point

Respuesta :

B) The end point

The direction is not really important.

Answer:

The direction is missing here.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Veronica's velocity, v = 4.3 m/s

Distance, d = 20 m

Time taken, t = 4.7 s

The velocity of an object is defined as the net displacement divided by total time taken.

We need to find the missing information. We know that velocity is a vector quantity i.e. it has both magnitude and direction. Here, only magnitude of velocity is given but the direction is missing. So, the correct option is (a) " the direction".
