Ben walks 500 meters from his house to the corner store. he then walks back toward his house, but continues 200 meters past his house to talk to a neighbor. it takes ben 17 minutes from the time he leaves his house until he stops to talk to his neighbor. what is ben’s average velocity? 0.2 m/s 0.5 m/s 0.7 m/s 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that Ben walks to the market at distance of 500 m

then he turns back towards his house and continue 200 m past his house towards neighbor.

So the return path length is 700 m

So here total displacement of Ben is given as

Now for the average velocity we know that

0.93xc=0.93x3x10^8m/s

2.54cm is 1 inch
