a bicyclist is in a 50-km race. She says she had an average velocity of 35. What is missing in the cyclist's velocity?
the units
km/hr, m/s, cm/ms ?what?
It doesn't say
the question is "what is missing?"
It doesn't want an answer to what it should be.
is it 35?
To determine what is missing in the cyclist's velocity, we need to understand the formula for velocity:
Velocity = Displacement / Time
In this case, we are given the distance (50 km) and the average velocity (35 km/h) but not the time taken to cover the distance. To find the missing value, we can rearrange the formula:
Time = Displacement / Velocity
Now we can substitute the known values into the formula:
Time = 50 km / 35 km/h
To find the missing value, we need to compute this expression.
