The average velocity of the whole journey will be total distance covered divided by the total time. It will be approximately equal to 8 m/s. The right answer is option B
Velocity is the distance travelled in a specific direction. While the average velocity of the whole journey will be total distance covered divided by the total time
When driving a Toyota avensis car along a straight road for 16.5km at
50km/h,
The velocity = 50 km/h
Distance = 16.5 km
Use the speed formula to calculate time.
Speed = distance / time
Time = distance / speed
Time = 16.5 / 50
Time = 0.33 s
If over the next 20min, you walked another 2.5km further along the road for a petrol station, Then,
average velocity = Total distance covered divided by total time taken.
Where
The time t = 20/60 = 0.333 h
Total time = 0.33 + 0.3333
Total time = 0.6633333
Total distance = 16.5 + 2.5
Total distance = 19 km
Average velocity = 19 / 0.66333
Average Velocity = 28.64 km/h
Now convert Km/h to m/s
(28.6432 x 1000) / 3600
286432 / 3600
7.956m/s
Therefore, the average velocity of the whole journey from beginning of the drive to the arrival at the filling station will be approximately 8 m/s
