a) What is the average velocity from $0$ to $10\ \mathrm{seconds}$?
$v_{avg}=50\ \mathrm{\displaystyle \frac{m}{s}}$
To find the average velocity, use:
a) $$v_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$$
$$v_{avg}=\frac{(500-0)}{(10-0)}$$
$$v_{avg}=50\ \mathrm{\displaystyle \frac{m}{s}}$$
b) What is the average velocity from $10$ to $20\ \mathrm{seconds}$?
$v_{avg}=150\ \mathrm{\displaystyle \frac{m}{s}}$
b) $$v_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$$
$$v_{avg}=\frac{(2,000-500)}{(20-10)}$$
$$v_{avg}=150\ \mathrm{\displaystyle \frac{m}{s}}$$
c) What is the average velocity from $0$ to $20\ \mathrm{seconds}$?
$v_{avg}=100\ \mathrm{\displaystyle \frac{m}{s}}$
c) $$v_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}$$
$$v_{avg}=\frac{(2,000-0)}{(20-0)}$$
$$v_{avg}=100\ \mathrm{\displaystyle \frac{m}{s}}$$
