Question

(b) If the straight-line distance from her home to the university is 10.3 km in a direction 25.0° south of east, what was her average velocity?

Answer 1

Answer:

The time taken is missing in the question. The time is 18 minutes.

The answer is 34.3 km/hr

Explanation:

Average velocity is the speed or the velocity which is required to cover a distance in a time interval.

The time taken is = 18 min

                            = 18/60 hours

The distance from the university to her home is = 10.3 km

Therefore, the average velocity is = displacement/time taken

                                                         = 10.3 / (18/60) km/hr

                                                         = 34.3 km/hr

Hence, the average velocity is 34.3 km/hr
