Answer:
The average velocity is 50 km/h south
Explanation:
The average velocity of an object is its total displacement divided by
the total time taken.
That means it is the rate at which an object changes its position from
one place to another.
Average velocity is a vector quantity.
The SI unit is meters per second.
A bicycle that starts 100 km south and is 120 km south of town after
0.4 hour.
The displacement = 120 - 100 = 20 km south
The time = 0.4 hour
The average velocity = , where D is the displacement
and t is the time
The average velocity of the bicycle = km/h
<em>The average velocity is 50 km/h south</em>
If you want it in meter per second, change the kilometer to meter
and change the hour to seconds
1 km = 1000 m
1 hour = 60 × 60 = 3600 seconds
The average velocity of the bicycle = m/s south
