Question

A car travels west for 200000 m in 12600 s what’s its velocity

Answer 1

Velocity = 15.87m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance, d = 200000m

Time, t = 12600secs

*To find the velocity*

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

`Velocity = (distance)/(time)`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`V = (200000)/(12600)`

Velocity = 15.87m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car is 15.87 meters per seconds due west.
