Explanation:
It is given that,
Initial position of the person is 2 m and final position is 25 m
The trip takes 4.5 seconds
Person's average velocity is equal to the displacement divided by time.
Displacement = final position-initial position
D = 25 m - 2 m
D = 23 m
Average velocity = [tex]\dfrac{23}{4.5}=5.12\ m/s[/tex]
Distance covered = 25 m + 2 m = 27 m
Average speed = [tex]\dfrac{27}{4.5}=6\ m/s[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
