What is the avarage velocity of a car that travels 30 kilometers due west in 0.5 hours
Fed [463]
Velocity is distance over time v= \frac{d}{t}. If it wants it in km/h you're good to go otherwise if its m/s you need to convert km to m by multiplying 30 by 1000 and t in hours to seconds by multiplying 0.5 by 3600.
