Question

Katie traveled southwest a distance of 4000m on a bicycle in 5400s. What is her velocity? (speed = distance / time)

.074m/s

1.35m/s SW

1.11m/s SW

.74 m/s SW

Answer 1

The answer is D. .74m/s SW.

Answer 2

Answer:

v = 0.74 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance covered by Katie, d = 4000 m

Time taken by Katie, t = 5400 s

Let v is the velocity of Katie. It can be calculated suing the definition as the total distance covered divided by total time taken. mathematically, it is given by :

$v=\dfrac{4000\ m}{5400\ s}$

v = 0.74 m/s (in south west direction)

So, the velocity of Katie is 0.74 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (d).
