Question

3. A man heads up a trail going north to see a lake. The trail is 5 miles long and it takes him

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 2.5 mi/h

Explanation:

The velocity of an object is defined as the time rate of change of its position. In other words the velocity of an object is just a ration of displacement covered by the object to the time taken by the object, to cover that distance. So, in this case we will use the same formula or equation to calculate the velocity of the man. The formula is as follows:

v = s/t

where,

v = velocity of the man = ?

s = distance of the trail = 5 miles

t = time required to complete the trail = 2 h

Therefore,

v = 5 miles/ 2 h

v = 2.5 mi/h
