Question

If a motorbike travels 2.4km in 5 minutes find its average velocity

Answer 1

Answer:

v=8m/s

Explanation:

s=2.4km

S=2400m

t=5min

t=300s

v=S/t

v=2400/300

v=8m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

The average velocity is 8m/s.

Velocity:

• Velocity is defined as the distance traveled by an object or thing in a unit time.
• It is a vector quantity and hence has magnitude as well as direction.
• The units of measuring velocity are m/s or km/h.
• Its dimensions are L¹M⁰T⁻¹.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance = 2.4km = 2400m

Time = 5min = 300s

To find:

Average velocity(v) =?

Solution:

We know that velocity is given as the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken. Therefore,

Average velocity = Distance/Time

Substituting the given values, we get

Average velocity = 2400/300

Average velocity = 8m/s

Therefore, if a motorbike travels 2.4km in 5 minutes, its average velocity is 8m/s.
