If you know the position vectors of a particle at two points along its path and also know the time it took to get from one point to the other, can you determine the particle’s instantaneous velocity? Its average velocity? Explain.
Can someone help me in finishing this? I am near to the answer but I do not know how to solve this one to get the final answer, magnitude. Thank you!
There are no cases where displacement and distance have the same value. True or False
