Answer:
0.5 m/s north
Explanation:
Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.
His displacement in the x direction is:
x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m
His displacement in the y direction is:
y = 10 m
His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.
His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.
v = 10 m north / 20 s
v = 0.5 m/s north

Below is an attachment containing the solution.
Answer:
Explanation:
Average speed is given by 
where 
is total distance and 
is time.
Plugging in given values, we get:
.
Answer:
Convert all the times to either hours or seconds
Explanation:
One time unit is in hours, and the other is in seconds. In order to do the math, the units need to be the same. So you either need to convert hours to seconds, or seconds to hours.
It's a virtual force ... one that seems to be there but isn't really there.
When something tries to fly or flow straight, through a rotating neighborhood, it ends up flying or flowing in a curved path, AS IF there were a force acting on it to make it curve. THAT apparent force is the Coriolis force.
It's what makes air, flowing away from high pressure or into low pressure, form the big rotating pressure systems on the rotating Earth.
