Forces and Motion:Question 1

A rider on a bicycle travels north for 1.5 hours and covers a distance of 18

kilometers. What is the velocity of the bicycle?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Velocity = 12 km/h

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the division between distance traveled and the time it took for that distance to be traveled:

  • Velocity = Distance / Time

With the above information in mind, we can calculate the velocity of the bicycle:

  • Velocity = 18 km / 1.5 h
  • Velocity = 12 km/h

Thus the velocity of the bicycle is 12 kilometers per hour.
