Question

What was the hikers average velocity during part c of the hike?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 km/h west

Explanation:

During part c of the hike, the hiker moved 6 km west, and the time was 9.45 am to 10.45 am.

So, we have:

- displacement: d = 6 km west

- time taken: from 9.45 am to 10.45 am = 1 hour

Therefore, the average velocity is given by the ratio between displacement and time taken:

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{6 km}{1 h}=6 km/h$

and the direction is the same as the displacement (west)

Answer 2

Hi, sorry for the late answer, but the answer is A) 6 km/h west, i took the test

hope this helps!
