2. Select the best answer: 1. A truck moves 70 m east, then moves 120 m west, and finally moves east again a distance of 90 m. If east is chosen as the positive direction, what is the truck's resultant displacement? a. 40 m b. - 40 m c. 280 m d. -280 m 2. In one-dimensional motion where the direction is indicated by a plus or minus sign, the average velocity of an object has which of the following properties? a. It is positive. b. It is negative. c. It is zero. d. It can be positive, negative, or zero. 3. An object moves 20 m east in 30 s and then returns to its starting point taking an additional 50 s. If west is chosen as the positive direction, what is the average speed of the object? a. 0.50 m/s b. -0.50 m/s c. 0.73 m/s d. 0 m/s 4. In problem #3, its average velocity is (use the numbers from #3) : a. b. c. d.
