Question

What is the velocity of a dog who travels south 50 meters in 9 seconds

Answer 1

Roughly 5.6 meters per second (m/s)

Velocity is determined by distance divided by time. In this case, we divide 50 meters by 9 seconds, giving us the dog’s velocity of 5.55555 (repeating) meters per second. We can round to 5.6 m/s if needed.
