Question

calculating average velocity
an airplane flies 1,592 miles east from phoenix, arizona, to atlanta, georgia, in 3.68 hours.
what is the average velocity of the airplane? round your answer to the nearest whole number.

mph

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for average velocity

The formula for average velocity \(v\) is \(v=\frac{d}{t}\), where \(d\) is the displacement and \(t\) is the time.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(d = 1592\) miles and \(t=3.68\) hours. Then \(v=\frac{1592}{3.68}\).

Step3: Calculate the value

\(v=\frac{1592}{3.68}\approx432.61\)

Answer:

\(433\) mph
