in a southeast direction, what is the velocity?
60 mph southeast
0.09 mph southeast
Omph southeast
11.6 mph southeast

Answer 1

Answer:

11.6mph South East

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time = 2.25hrs

Displacement  = 26.2miles south east

Unknown:

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by the time taken. It is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.

 Now;

       Velocity  = $\frac{displacement}{time taken}$

       Velocity  = $\frac{26.2}{2.25}$   = 11.6mph South East

Answer 2

Answer:

11.6mph south east.
