Alexis is riding her bike around town. She travels 43.2 m to the right, and then turns around to bike an additional 30 m to the left. Determine the velocity of Alexis's bike ride if it takes her 39.4 seconds to complete her motion.

• 2 m/s to the right

• 2 m/s to the left

• 0.3 m/s to the right

• 0.3 m/s to the left

What does a constant velocity do tour our acceleration?

• Acceleration increases

• Acceleration decreases

• Acceleration is zero

• Acceleration is not affected by velocity
