Question

Kyle rides a bicycle on a bike path that is 75 kilometers long to get to his house that is due east of the bike path. Calculate Kyle’s velocity if he takes 15 hours to travel.

Answer 1

ANSWER

$5\text{ }km\/hr\text{ }due\text{ }East$

EXPLANATION

We want to find Kyle's velocity.

To do this, divide the displacement by the amount of time taken:

$Velocity=\frac{Displacement}{Time}$

Therefore, Kyle's velocity is:

$\begin{gathered} Velocity=\frac{75}{15} \\ \\ Velocity=5\text{ }km\/hr\text{ }due\text{ }East \end{gathered}$

That is Kyle's velocity.
