two cars are traveling on a desert road. After 5.0 seconds they are side by side at the next telephone pole.The distance between the poles is 70.0m. Identify the following quantities:
a. the displacement of car A after 5.0s
b. the displacement of car B after 5.0s
c. the average velocity of car A during 5.0s
d. the average velocity of car B during 5.
please explain how to do this using the formulas because i already know the answers, i just dont know how to get them. Thank you!!

anonymous · Answer

probably, velocity average=displacement / time taken,   thus, 70/5=14m/s
a. the displacement is 70m as it took 5 seconds to reach the next telephone pole
b. the same answer, assuming car B had the same velocity and was at the same position
c. 14m/s by the formula above
d. the same answer
