John is blowing bubbles from point
which is
m above the ground. Then a bubble travels along the path
where it lands and bursts. The distance of the path
and that of
are the same, which is
m. The time taken flying each of those two paths is also the same, which is
seconds. What are the magnitude of the average speed and the magnitude of the average velocity, respectively, of the bubble traveling from

average speed = total distance/ total time required = (1.5+1.5)/(2+2)=0.75 m/sec
Velocity (vector quantity) = total displacement/total time required = 1/(2+2)=0.25 m/sec
