Question

Forces and Motion:Question 1

A rider on a bicycle travels north for 1.5 hours and covers a distance of 18

kilometers. What is the velocity of the bicycle?

Answer 1

Velocity = 12 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the division between distance traveled and the time it took for that distance to be traveled:

• Velocity = Distance / Time

With the above information in mind, we can calculate the velocity of the bicycle:

• Velocity = 18 km / 1.5 h

• Velocity = 12 km/h

Thus the velocity of the bicycle is 12 kilometers per hour.
