Question

Activity 4: It’s Solving Time! Directions: Solve the following problems below involving speed and velocity. Show your solution.

1. A bird can fly a distance of 250 miles in 5 hours. What is the average speed of the bird ?

2. If you travel 300km in 6 hours, what is your average speed?

3. A jeepney moves along a straight road at an average speed of 10m/s. What is the distance travelled by the jeepney in 2.5 s​

Answer 1

Speed = distance / time

1. 250/5= 50 mph ( miles per hour)

2. 300000/6 = 50,000metres per hour (m/h)

3. 10 = distance / 2.5
10 x 2.5 = 25
