Which of the following is the approximate average velocity of a vehicle that slows from 18 meters/second (m/s) to 2.4 m/s in 4.0 seconds?
  1. 7.8 m/s
  2. 9.8 m/s
  3. 10.2 m/s
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - The approximate average velocity of a vehicle that slows from 18 m/s to 2.4 m/s in 4.0 seconds is 10.2 m/s.

Solution: Average the initial and final velocities

Vave = (Vi + Vf)/2

Given,

Vi = 18 m/s

Vf = 2.4 m/s

Therefore,

Vave = (18 + 2.4)/2 = 10.2 m/s
