Question

It took 1.5 hours for a bus to go from one City to the next the bus traveled at an average velocity of 52 mph west how far apart were the two cities ?

Answer 1

Answer: 78 metres

Explanation:

The average velocity of the bus refers to the rate of change of its distanced travelled in the westward direction per unit time.

Thus, Velocity V = Distance travelled (D)/ time taken (T)

Then, average velocity = 52 metres per hour (mph)

Time taken = 1.5 hour

To get the distance travelled (D), make it the subject formula

D = V x T

D = velocity x time taken

D = 52 mph x 1.5 hour

D = 78 metres

Thus, the bus traveled a distance of 78 metres between the two cities.
