Question

A man walks 8 m east in 12 seconds . What is the man's velocity ?

Answer 1

0.67m/s due east

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Displacement of the man = 8m east

Time taken = 12s

Unknown:

Velocity of the man = ?

Solution:

The velocity of a body is the rate of displacement per time;

Velocity =
`(Displacement)/(time)`

Velocity =
`(8)/(12)` = 0.67m/s due east
