v = x/t
v = average velocity, x = displacement, t = elapsed time
Given values:
x = 6km south, t = 60min
Plug in and solve for v:
v = 6/60
v = 0.1km/min south
Explanation:
Only few supernova are observed in our galaxy -
Type II supernovae ( i.e. the explosions of the massive stars ) occurred in the Milky Way, and they might be hidden by the intervening dust if they are located in the more distant parts of our Galaxy .
Type Ia supernovae , which need a white dwarf star in the binary star system , are brighter than the type II supernovae , but some of them could also happen in the older parts of Galaxy which are hidden due to the buildup of the dust and gas .
