Question

Which of the following is an example of a velocity?
30 miles per hour
30 miles per hour North
30 miles
30 hours

Answer 1

Answer:

30 miles per hour North

Explanation:

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;

$Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V = \frac{d}{t}$

Hence, 30 miles per hour North is an example of a velocity because it is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
