Question

An object travels due North and covers 500 miles in 5 hours. Which one of the following is the average velocity of the object?

a) 100 mph
b) 2500 mph
c) 2500 mph due North
d) 100 mph due North

Answer 1

100 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by an object is 500 miles in 5 hours.

We need to find the average velocity of the object. It can be given by :

`v=(d)/(t)\\\\v=\frac{500\ \text{miles}}{5\ \text{hour}}\\\\v=100\ \text{mph}`

Hence, the average velocity of the object is 100 mph.
