Which explains how to calculate the average acceleration of a moving object? 1.Divide the change in velocity by the change in time.
2.Multiply the change in time by the change in velocity.
3.Divide the change in time by the change in velocity.
4.Subtract the velocity from the change in time.

Answer Multiply the acceleration by time to obtain the velocity change: velocity change = 6.95 * 4 = 27.8 m/s . Since the initial velocity was zero, the final velocity is equal to the change of speed.

The minus sign indicates the average velocity is also toward the rear of the plane.

The average velocity of an object does not tell us anything about what happens to it between the starting point and ending point, however. For example, we cannot tell from average velocity whether the airplane passenger stops momentarily or backs up before he goes to the back of the plane. To get more details, we must consider smaller segments of the trip over smaller time intervals. For instance, in the figure below, we see that the total trip displacement,
