Problem

A student walks 150 m north at 3 m s−13\,\text{m s}^{-1} and then walks back 150 m south at 2 m s−12\,\text{m s}^{-1}. Calculate the average speed for the entire walk. a) 3.0 m s−13.0\,\text{m s}^{-1} b) 2.5 m s−12.5\,\text{m s}^{-1} c) 2.4 m s−12.4\,\text{m s}^{-1} d) 2.0 m s−12.0\,\text{m s}^{-1}
