  1. A boat starts 200 m (east) of the shore and is travelling at 8.0 miles/second (east).  *I assume you mean m/sec, not miles/sec

    Calculate the boat's

    a) position after 20 seconds

    200 +160 =360 m east

    b) displacement over the 20 second time interval

    20 sec * 8 m/sec = 160 m

    c) average velocity over the 20 second time interval

    8 m/sec

    d) average speed over the 20 second time interval

    8 m/sec east
