Four friends ride to school on the bus in the morning. Since they have a physics t that day, they are discussing how to calculate average velocity of the bus. Which student makes the correct claim? Alicent says the bus's average velocity is the total distance traveled divided by the total time it takes to drive to school. Baela says the bus's average velocity is the final velocity plus the initial velocity divided by the time it takes to drive to school. Corlys says the bus's average velocity is simply the reading on the speedometer at any given point on the trip. Daemon says the bus's average velocity is the final velocity minus the initial velocity divided by the time it takes to drive to school. Sign

George walks to a friend’s house. He walks 750 meters North, then realizes he walked too far. He turns around and walks 250 meters South. The entire walk takes him 13 seconds. What is his speed per second? What is his velocity in meters per second? I know the answer for the second one, velocity in meters per second is 38.46 m/s. But I'm really confused because since velocity = displacement/time. Displacement = final position - initial position. How can it equal 38.46 m/s since it should be 250 - 750 / t, not 750 - 250 / t? Please show the formula you use and explain it in an easy to understand way.
