velocity on a walk from home to school that takes him 12 minutes?
O
A. 6 blocks/min north
O
B. 2 min/blocks
O
c. 0.5 blocks/min north
O
D. 2 blocks/min north

Answer 1

Answer: Option C) 0.5 blocks/min north

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of lan's school from his house = 6 blocks north

Time taken from lan's house to school = 12 minutes

Average velocity of Ian = ?

Recall that average velocity is the total displacement divided by the total time taken.

Average velocity = (Displacement / Time taken)

Average velocity = (6 blocks north/12 minutes)

= 0.5 blocks/min north

Thus, Ian's walk with an average velocity of 0.5 blocks per minute towards north.
