Answer:Average Velocity of the trip=98.77km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Black Panther started his journey with

Distance ran towards east = 567.5km

Time ran towards east = 2.3 hours

and then turned back,

Distance ran towards west, = 2218 km

Time taken towards west, = 1.2 hours

Let us treat the westward movement as negative movement of the east

So total displacement =567.5 km east + (-2218km east )= 1,650.5km

But it seems the value of the distance ran west is wrong , because i do not think he can run 2218km under 1.2hours considering he ran 567.5m due east at 2.3hours .

So Let we use 221.8 km as distance ran due west.

So that Total Displacement becomes = 567.5 km east + (-221.8km east )= 345.7km

Total time = 2.3 + 1.2 = 3.5hrs.

Average velocity = Total displacement / total time

.345.7km / 3.5hr = 98.77km/h
