A dancer moves 5 meters toward the left of the stage over the course of 15 seconds. What is her velocity for this time?

The formula for velocity is : Velocity = Distance / Time

If you plug it in, Velocity = 5 m / 15 s

Velocity =.3 m/s

BUT don't forget to add the direction because velocity is a vector!

The final answer is:.3 m/s toward the left of the stage.

(5 meters left) / (15 seconds) =

(5/15) (meters/second) (left) =

Velocity = 1/3 meter per second toward the left of the stage
