Answer:
1. 6.56 km/hr
2. 1.83 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
The average velocity/speed can be calculated using the formula;
Average speed/velocity = distance/time
According to the information provided in the question, distance = 12.5km, time = 1.9h
Average velocity in km/hr = 12.5/1.9
= 6.578
= 6.56km/hr
However, in order to calculate the average speed in m/s, we have to convert distance in km to m, and time in hour to seconds.
1km = 1000m
12.5km = 12.5 × 1000
= 12500m
1 hour = 3600seconds
1.9hours = 1.9 × 3600
= 6840seconds
Average velocity = 12500/6840
= 1.827
= 1.83m/s
