Question

1.if I drove 40 miles west in 2 hours what is my velocity

2.find the time it takes for a bird that travels 15 miles per hour for 3 hours ​

Answer 1

1. v= 20 miles/hr

2. d = 45 miles

Further explanation

Velocity is a vector that has both magnitude and direction

Velocity is the ratio of distance per time

Can be formulated :

`\tt v=(d)/(t)`

v , m/s

d , m

t, s

1. d = 40 miles

t = 2 hr

`\tt v=(40~miles)/(2~hr)\\\\v=20~miles/hr`

2. maybe you meant the distance traveled

v = 15 miles/hr

t = 3 hr

`\tt d=v* t\\\\d=15* 3\\\\d=45~miles`
