Question

What is the velocity when a dog runs west 120 meters in 12 seconds?

10 m/s west
120 meters west
12 m/s west
10 m/s

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf 10 \ m/s \ west}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Displacement = d = 120 m

Time = t = 12 s

Required:

Velocity = v = ?

Formula:

v = d/t

Solution:

Put the given data in the above formula.

v = 120/12

v = 10 m/s

Since, the dog is running west so velocity will also be in the west direction.
