Jesse travels 3.0 meters east and then turns and travels 4.0 meters north. The trip requires 35 seconds. What is his velocity?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I cant figure this out because it doesn't give a velocity..

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Okay so velocity is displacement/time|dw:1459264557294:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess...it says for this question the equation is time= distance divided by velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but their is no velocity

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Yes you have to figure it out by Velocity = Displacement/time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont even know what displacement is.. :(

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

|dw:1459264876371:dw|

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

The length of the side on that triangle is displacement

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i figure that out?

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Use pythagoras theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):
