Question

Your friend just challenged you to a race. You know in order to beat him, you must run 50 meters within 60 seconds in an eastern direction. What does your average velocity need to be to win the race?

Answer 1

.83 meters per second, east

Answer 2

v = 0.83 m/s Towards East

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that average velocity is defined as

`v = (displacement)/(time)`

here we know that the displacement is 50 meter towards east

and the total time taken must be 60 s to beat all

So here we will have

`v = (50)/(60)`

now we will have

`v = 0.83 m/s`

direction of this velocity will be same as the direction of displacement so correct answer will be

v = 0.83 m/s towards east
