Average velocity, $v_{\text {avg }}=\frac{\text { displacement }}{\text { total time }}$
Given, $y=7 \sin (\pi t) m , t=0$ to $0.5$
$y$ at $t=0, x_1=7 \sin \left(0^{\circ}\right)=0$
$y$ at $t=0.5$,
$x_2=7 \sin (\pi / 2)=7$
$\therefore V_{\text {avg }}=\frac{7-0}{0.5-0}=14$
$v_{\text {avg }}=14 m / s$
