A child running in a field has the following position and velocity at time t=0:                                                                                                                                x = 1.5 m. v= -2.0 m.                                Vx =-3.5 m/s, vy = 1.0 m/s                                                                                                                                                              
   At time t = 2.5 s, it has the following position and velocitv:                                                                                                                                                                   x = -1.0 m, y = 1.5 m 08.                          Vx = -0.50 m/s, Vy = 2.0 m/s                                                                                                                                                         Using this information, find the magnitude and direction of the child's                                                                                                                                          
 a) average velocity during that time interval, and                                                                                                                                                                                    
 b) average acceleration during that time interval. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

At t=0 

x = 1.5 m , y= -2.0m 

vx =-3.5 m/s, vx = 1.0 m/s 

At t=2.5sec 

x= -1.0m , y= 1.5m 

vx= -0.50m/s , vy= 2m/s u
