#6) For this problem let's say East is the positive direction. A dump truck drives 100.0 m in the positive direction. Then drives in reverse for another 50.0 m in the westward direction. Let's say this total trip takes 60 seconds. Show basic equations. Report answers to 3 sig figs. (A) What is the dump trucks average speed for the trip in meters per second? (B) What is the average velocity of the dump truck for the trip in meters per second? Remember, velocity has a magnitude and direction, make sure to specify both clearly.
