Your older sister drove 500 miles to college one way in ten hrs what was her average velocity
it would be 50 miles
50 miles per hour
To calculate the average velocity, we need to divide the total displacement by the total time taken. In this case, the total distance covered was 500 miles, and the total time taken was 10 hours.
Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total Time
Therefore, we can calculate the average velocity as:
Average Velocity = 500 miles / 10 hours
Simplifying this, we get:
Average Velocity = 50 miles/hour
500 miles/10 hours = 50 miles/hour
That is the average speed.
(not velocity. For speed you just need distance/time. For velocity you also need direction. It is a vector. For example if you did 250 miles to destination and then 250 miles back all in ten hours your speed would still be 50 miles/hour BUT you velocity would be zero because your displacement in the ten hours was zero, you ended up getting nowhere.)
