Calculate the velocity of a car traveling in a straight path due east with a distance of 16 meters in 2 seconds. question 1 options: 32 m/s 32 m/s e 8 m/s e 8 m/s4

  E 8 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the velocity (the speed) is the number of meters divided by the number of seconds. (That's what meters per second means.)

  |V| = (16 m)/(2 s) = (16/2) m/s = 8 m/s

Velocity is a vector quantity, so must include a direction along with the magnitude.

  V = E 8 m/s
