Question

Suppose that a lion moves due EAST as to travel 25km in 4.2 hours. What is the average speed, and what is the average velocity. (2 answers separated by a comma)​

Answer 1

Answer:

5.95 km/h

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance moved, d = 25 km

Time taken by the lion, t = 4.2 hours

Average speed = distance/time

And

Average velocity = displacement/time

Here, distance = displacement

So,

$v=s=\dfrac{25\ km}{4.2\ h}\\\\v=5.95\ km/h$

So, the average speed and the average speed of the lion is equal to 5.95 km/h.
