    Average velocity
    A nervous papa bear is expecting the birth of his first baby cub. He paces 10m north in 5.0seconds then 16m south in 5.0seconds and then 14m north in 4.0seconds.

    Average speed is 2.9m/s

    What is the average velocity?

    The average velocity is the date of change of displacement, or (Displacement/Total Time).

    Remember that the displacement is the distance from the start point and the finish point.
