In reaching her destination, a backpacker walks with an average velocity of 1.17 m/s, due west. This average velocity results, because she hikes for 5.57 km with an average velocity of 3.24 m/s due west, turns around, and hikes with an average velocity of 0.486 m/s due east. How far east did she walk (in kilometers)?
Consider west as positive direction of motion and east as negative direction of motion
Vavg = average velocity = 1.17 m/s
Dw = distance traveled in west direction = 5.57 km = 5570 m
vw = average velocity to travel distance in west direction = 3.24 m/s
tw = time of travel in west direction = Dw /vw = 5570/3.24 = 1719.14 sec
DE = distance traveled in east direction = ?
vE = average velocity to travel distance in east direction = - 0.486 m/s
tE = time of travel in east direction = DE /vE
Average velocity is given as
Vavg = Total displacement/total time
Vavg = (Dw - DE ) /(tw + tE )
1.17 = (5570 - DE ) /(1719.14 + DE /0.486)
DE = 1044.4 m
DE = 1.044 km
