Calculating Average Velocity

A student has a displacement of 304 m north in 180 s. What was the student's average velocity?

Work it out on paper first. Then open the solution one step at a time, and stop as soon as you can finish on your own.

Strategy
We know that the displacement is 304 m north and the time is 180 s. We can use the formula for average velocity to solve the problem.
Solution
$v_{avg} = \frac{Δ d}{Δ t} = \frac{304 m}{180 s} = 1.7 m/s north$
