Final answer:
Damon's velocity was approximately 4.17 m/s, calculated by dividing the distance traveled, 1,100 meters, by the time it took, which is 4.4 minutes converted to 264 seconds. The options given in the question all appear to be typographical errors as they suggest speeds faster than the speed of sound.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find Damon's velocity, we use the formula for velocity = distance / time. Damon biked 1,100 meters north, and it took him 4.4 minutes to do so. First, we need to convert minutes into seconds, because velocity is most commonly expressed in meters per second (m/s) in the SI unit system.
There are 60 seconds in one minute, so 4.4 minutes is equal to 4.4 × 60 = 264 seconds.
Now we can calculate the velocity by dividing the distance by the time:
velocity = 1100 meters / 264 seconds = 4.17 m/s (approximately).
The options provided in the question (A: 250 m/s, B: 275 m/s, C: 225 m/s, D: 245 m/s) are all much higher than the correct calculation. It seems there could be a typo in the options, as a velocity in the range of 250 m/s would be significantly faster than the speed of sound, and not achievable by a cyclist. The calculated value of 4.17 m/s is a more realistic velocity for a cyclist.
