Answer 2

Answer:

7.5 km/h (2.1 m/s) due east

Explanation:

The average velocity of the person is given by:

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

where

d is the displacement

t is the time taken

In this problem,

d = 15 km is the displacement

t = 2.0 h is the time elapsed

so the average velocity is

$v=\frac{15 km}{2.0 h}=7.5 km/h$

and the direction is the same as the displacement (east).

We can also convert the velocity into SI units (m/s). We have:

d = 15 km = 15,000 m

t = 2.0 h * 3600 s/h = 7200 s

$v=\frac{15,000 m}{7200 s}=2.1 m/s$
