Question

A jogger on the beach at Cape Hatteras covered 8 miles at a constant speed. Given that distance run varies directly as time, what is the constant of variation in miles per hour if it took the jogger 45 minutes to cover the 8 miles?

Answer 1

The velocity of the jogger will be 0.18 miles per minute.

What is velocity?

Velocity is defined as the ratio of the distance moved by the object in a particular time. The velocity is a vector quantity so it needs both the magnitude and the direction.

Given that:-

• It took the jogger 45 minutes to cover the 8 miles

The velocity will be calculated as:-

V   =   Distance  ÷   Time

V   =   8     ÷    45

V   =   0.18 miles per minute

Therefore the velocity of the jogger will be 0.18 miles per minute.
