Question

A train travels 55km, south along a straight track in 34minutes. What is the train Ls average velocity in kilometers per hour

Answer 1

Answer:

96.5 km/h

Explanation:

The average velocity of the train is given by:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the displacement

t is the time taken

For this train, we have:

d = 55 km south (displacement is a vector, so we must also consider the direction)

$t= 34 min \cdot \frac{1}{60 min/h}=0.57 h$

Substituting into the equation, we find the average velocity:

$v=\frac{55 km}{0.57 h}=96.5 km/h$
