A child throws a ball up in the air to a height of 3.5 m and catches it at the same point from which it was thrown. The ball is in the air for a total of 1.7 seconds. What is the average velocity of the ball?

S = 3 , 5 + 3 , 5 = 7 m V = △ T △ S ​ = 1 , 7 7 ​ ≈ 4 , 12 s m ​

The average velocity of the ball thrown in the air and caught at the same point is 0 m/s, as the total displacement is zero.
The average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time of travel. Since the ball returns to the starting point, the total displacement is zero. Therefore, the average velocity of the ball for the entire journey is 0 m/s because it starts and ends at the same point.

The average velocity of the ball is 0 m/s, as it returns to its starting position after being in the air for 1.7 seconds. This reflects the fact that total displacement is zero despite the ball's motion. Average velocity is calculated by dividing total displacement by total time.
