Question

I need help with these problems

1. You see your best friend across campus, 30m away. You sprint over to see them and it takes you 11 seconds to get there. What is your average velocity?


2. Your Auntie's house is 20 km away from your house. You ride your bike, starting at 8:00 am, and you arrive at 9:30 am. What is your average velocity during your trip?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Solution,

Distance(s)=30m

Time taken(t)=11s

Now,

Average velocity=s/t=30m/11s=2.72m/s

2)Solution,

Distance(s)=20km=20x1000m=20000m

Time(t)=9:30-8:30=1:30=60+30 min=90min=90x60=5400s

Now,

Average velocity=s/t=20000m/5400s=3.7m/s
