A body goes from A to B with a velocity of 20 m/s and comes back from B to A with a velocity of 30 m/s. What is the average velocity of the body?

To solve for the average velocity, apply the formula:


`v_(ave) = (Delta x)/ (Delta t)`


where


`v_(ave)` is the average velocity


`Delta x` is the displacement 


`Delta t` is the time elapsed


In the problem, the body goes from A to B and then from B to A. Since the body returns to its original position, its displacement is zero.


Plugging in `Delta x = 0` to the formula  yields,


`v_(ave) = 0/ (Delta t)...

To solve for the average velocity, apply the formula:


`v_(ave) = (Delta x)/ (Delta t)`


where


`v_(ave)` is the average velocity


`Delta x` is the displacement 


`Delta t` is the time elapsed


In the problem, the body goes from A to B and then from B to A. Since the body returns to its original position, its displacement is zero.


Plugging in `Delta x = 0` to the formula  yields,


`v_(ave) = 0/ (Delta t) =0`



Therefore, the average velocity of the body is 0 m/s.

How were Buck's feelings for Thornton different from his feelings for his previous masters?

Buck feels a strong connection with Thornton, his final master, and is deeply devoted to him. This is new for Buck: toward his previous mast...
