Ladybug walks 10 cm forward and 5 cm backwards in 20 seconds what is the average speed of ladybug what is the average velocity

Average speed = 0.0075 m/s

Average velocity = 0.0025 m/s along forward direction

Explanation:

Speed is the ratio of distance and time and velocity is the ratio of displacement and time.

Distance traveled = 10 + 5 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Displacement = 10 - 5 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Time = 20 seconds

Average speed = 0.0075 m/s

Average velocity = 0.0025 m/s along forward direction

Hey!

Formula: Distance / Time = Speed

Solution:

Speed = 15/20 = 0.75cm/sec

Velocity = 5/20 = 0.25cm/sec

10 + 5 = 15 (distance traveled)

Speed = 0.75cm/sec

Velocity = 0.25cm/sec going forward.

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

i am pretty sure it is c because when people are closer together, they cannot move as freely. picture being in a mostly full elevator, for instance. the people are right next to you, and you can barely move.
