1 answer:
Answer:
Find answers below.
Explanation:
Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;
Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.
Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;
1. Speed: Jackson ran 5k in 24 minutes.
2. Velocity: A storm is travelling 25 km/hour eastward.
3. Speed: John walked 420 m in 17.5 seconds.
4. Velocity: Zart moved the desk 34 cm to the left.
5. Speed: A hurricane travels 360 km in 15 hours.
6. Speed: Meredith runs 400 meters in 50 seconds.
7. Velocity: Stephen Jay swims 110 m towards the shore in 72 seconds.
8. Velocity: Vince throws a baseball 38 m from third base to first base in 1.7 seconds.

Answer:
The distance is 55.636 billion miles, or 528.2 AU.
Explanation:
Since the distance from the Sun to Neptune is 2.7818 billion miles, the distance from the Sun to Planet Nine would be 20 times that, which is:
or 55.636 billion miles.
Since 1 astronomical unit (AU) is 93 million miles, that distance is also:
