  12. (T/F) The sum of two vectors is the resultant of the vectors.
    True.
  13. A person walks 2 miles north and then turns around and walks 3 miles south. Total time elapsed = 1 hour.

    1. Distance (d) =

    2. Displacement (Δx) = 

    3. Average Velocity (⊽) =

    4. Average Speed (s) =
    1. d = 2 + 3 = 5 miles

    2. Δx = 2 miles (N) - 3 miles (S) = 1 mile (S)

    3. ⊽ = Δx/Δt = 1 miles/1 hour = 1 mile/hr (S)

    4. s - d/Δt = 5 miles/1 hour = 5 miles/hr
