What is the speed of an object that travels from #( -1, 7,2) # to #( -3, 4,7 ) # over #2 s#? Physics 1D Motion Displacement and Velocity 1 Answer ali ergin Feb 14, 2016 #v=sqrt 10 # Explanation: #"distance between two point is given as:" # #x=sqrt(Delta x^2+Delta y^2+ Delta z^2# #Delta x=x_2-x_1=-3+1=-2# #Delta y=y_2-y_1=4-7=-3# #Delta z=z_2-z_1=-3-2#=-5 #x=sqrt((-2)^2⁺(-3)^2+(-5)^2)# #x=sqrt (4+9+25)# #x=sqrt40# #v=x/t# #v=sqrt 40/2# #v=sqrt (4*10)/2=2*sqrt 10/2# #v=sqrt 10 # Answer link Related questions What is the difference between distance and displacement?
