As shown in the figure below, April enters a race. She runs leftward 100 m to her horse, then she rides 500m to her truck, then she drives 1000m in a total time of 120s. What is her average velocity over the 120s period?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The average velocity is the ratio of total distance traveled to the total time taken to complete the distance. The International System of Units (SI) unit of velocity is the meter per second (m/s). The Velocity is given by the equation:

Velocity = total distance traveled / total time taken

The total distance traveled = Distance traveled by horse + distance traveled by truck + remaining distance traveled = 100 m + 500 m + 1000 m = 1600 m

Total time taken = 120 s

Velocity = total distance traveled / total time taken = 1600 m / 120 s = 13.33 m/s

Velocity = 13.33 m/s

Her total velocity over the 120s period is
13.33m/s
