    v = 4.20m/s

    Average velocity is 4.20m/s

    Explanation:

    Average velocity is the change in displacement per unit time;

    v = ∆x/t

    Given;

    ∆x = 32.4 - (-5) = 37.4 m

    t = 8.9 seconds

    Substituting the values;

    v = 37.4m/8.9s

    v = 4.20m/s

    Average velocity is 4.20m/s

    4.157 m/s

    Explanation:

    Average velocity: This can be defined as the ratio change in position to time interval. The S. I unit of average velocity is m/s

    The expression for average velocity is given as,

    V = Δx/t ... Equation 1

    Where V = average velocity, Δx = change in position on the x - axis, t = time.

    But,

    Δx = x₂-x₁ ... Equation 2

    Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

    V = (x₂-x₁) / t ... Equation 3

    Given: x₂ = 32.4 m, x₁ = - 5 m, t = 8.9 s

    Substitute into equation 3

    V = [32.4 - (-5) ]/8.9

    V = (32.4+5) / 8.9

    V = 37.4/8.9

    V = 4.157 m/s

    Hence the average velocity = 4.157 m/s
