Question

A family took a road trip and traveled west a distance of 350 kilometers in 7 hours. What was their velocity during this

Answer 1

Answer:

50 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

so you traveled total of 350 (km) in 7 (hours) right?, just take 350, divide it by 7, which will give you km/h. (or 50 km/h) and then when you add a direction it like "west" it's no longer a speed it's a velocity.

Answer 2

Displacement given (in metres) = (350 × 1000)m.

Displacement = 350000 metres.

Time = (7× 3600) seconds

Time = 25200 seconds.

Velocity = Displacement / Time

Velocity = 350000 / 25200

Velocity = 13.89m/s

Approximately, Velocity = 14m/s.
