. a car travels 15 miles east at a constant speed of 20 mi/h, then continues east for 20 miles at a constant 30 mi/h. what can be concluded about the magnitude of the average velocity?

Respuesta :

The average velocity of the journey is 24.65miles/s

What is average velocity?

Average velocity is the ratio of the total displacement to the total time taken for a journey. It is measured In m/s and it is a vector.

Therefore average velocity = Total displacement / total time taken

from velocity = distance/time

The time taken for the first journey(t1) = distance/velocity

t(1) = 15/20 = 0.75s

the time taken for the second journey (t2)= 20/30= 0.67s

The total time taken = 0.67s+ 0.75s = 1.42s

Therefore, average velocity = (15+20)/1.42

= 35/1.42 = 24.65miles/s
