Your friend just challenged you to a race through an obstacle course. You know in order to beat him, you must run 30 meters within 60 seconds in a southern direction. What does your average velocity need to be to win the race?

Answer:

velocity = 0.5 m/s Towards South

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that velocity is the ratio of displacement and time

so here it is given that object displaced by total displacement of d = 30 m

also we know that time taken is 60 seconds

now we know the formula as


v = (displacement)/(time)

now plug in the values in it


v = (30)/(60)


v = 0.5 m/s Towards South

So the average velocity must be 0.5 m/s Towards South
