Question

An object covers a distance of 6.0 km and then turns left. It then covers a distance of 8.0 km. If it takes 10.0 seconds to cover the entire distance, determine the average speed and the average velocity of the object.

Answer 1

Answer:

the average speed is 5,040 km/hour

Explanation:

The computation of the average speed is as follows:

Average speed = Total distance ÷ Total time

= (6 km + 8 km) ÷ (10 seconds)

= (14 km) ÷ (10 seconds)

= 5,040 km/hour

Hence, the average speed is 5,040 km/hour

We simply divided the total distance from the total time
