Question

Jessica jogs on a path that is 25 km long to get to a park that is south of the jogging path. If it takes Jessica 2.5 hours then what is her speed and velocity?

Answer 1

Answer: Speed = 10 km per hour

Velocity=10km/h towards south.

Explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem we have to analyze the information given:

• distance: 25km

• time: 2.5 hours

direction: south

So, we have to calculate the speed we have to divide the distance by the time:

Speed = 25km / 2.5 h =10 km per hour (speed)

The velocity is the speed in a direction.

Velocity: 10km/h towards south.
