Question

Mike ran ten laps around his school's 1/4 mile track in 15 minutes. He
finishes his run at the exact same point that he started. What was his average
velocity in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 0

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mike ran ten laps around his school's 1/4 mile track in 15 minutes. He finishes his run at the exact same point that he started. We need to find his average velocity. Average velocity is equal to net displacement divided by total time taken.

As he returns exactly at the same point that he started, it means his displacement or the shortest distance covered is equal to 0. As a result, its average velocity is equal to 0.
