Question

Michael’s mom is driving the soccer carpool. They leave the field at 7 pm, with an odometer reading of 78,753 km. Combined the minivan and players have a mass of 2900 kg. After all the players are dropped off, it is 7:56 pm and the odometer reads 78,802 km. What was the average velocity of the minivan while traveling?

Answer 1

0.875 miles/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for velocity if final position - initial position divided by final time - initial time. Here, the final position

of the van was 49 km away from house, and its initial was 0, because you didn't travel anywhere initially. The final time was 56 minutes because that was how long it took to get home, and the initial was 0, because you were 0 minutes into travel at the beginning.
