Question

A plane traveled 500 miles east and landed in Arizona. then it traveled another 500 miles east and lands in California. The entire trip took 5 hours. What is the average velocity of the plane?

Answer 1

Answer:

200 mph

Explanation:

The average velocity of an object is the total displacement traveled by the object divided by the elapsed time to cover that distance.

Average velocity = total distance/time taken

= (500 + 500)/5

= 1000/5

= 200mph Eastward
