Question

A family took a road trip and traveled west a distance of 350 kilometers in 7 hours. What was their velocity during this trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

50km/hr

Explanation:

Distance travelled = 350 km

Time taken = 7hr

Velocity = Distance/time = 350/7 = 50km/hr

Answer 2

• Given

• Displacement = 350 km
• Time = 7 hr

• To find

• Velocity of the car during the trip.

• Solution

• Formula to find Velocity -

$\blue{\bigstar}$ $\sf\red{\dfrac{Displacement}{Time}}$

Substitute the given values.

$: \implies\sf{ \dfrac{350}{7} }$

$: \implies\sf{ \dfrac{ \cancel{350}}{ \not{7}} }$

$: \implies\sf{50 \: kmh }$

$\red{\bigstar}$ $\large{\boxed{\sf{\green{Velocity~= 50~km/h}}}}$
