Question

part 1: clementine left the house to go on a walk. she went 1,000 meters west and it took her 2 hours to get there. what was her velocity? please express your answer in meters/second and show your calculations

Explanation:

Step1: Convert time from hours to seconds

1 hour = 3600 seconds, so 2 hours = 2×3600 = 7200 seconds.

Step2: Use the velocity formula

Velocity \(v=\frac{d}{t}\), where \(d = 1000\) meters and \(t = 7200\) seconds. So \(v=\frac{1000}{7200}\) m/s.

Step3: Simplify the fraction

\(v=\frac{1000\div 400}{7200\div 400}=\frac{5}{36}\approx0.139\) m/s.

Answer:

\(\frac{5}{36}\text{ m/s}\approx0.139\text{ m/s}\)
