Question

1. describe a time when you moved in a certain direction at a certain speed. (e.g., walking to school, riding a bike, playing sports) what was your velocity?

Explanation:

Step1: Choose an example

I ride my bike to the park every Sunday. The park is 5 kilometers east of my house and it takes me 30 minutes (0.5 hours) to get there.

Step2: Recall velocity formula

Velocity \(v=\frac{d}{t}\), where \(d\) is displacement and \(t\) is time. Displacement has direction. Here, displacement \(d = 5\) km east and \(t=0.5\) h.

Step3: Calculate velocity

\(v=\frac{5\ km}{0.5\ h}=10\) km/h east.

Answer:

10 km/h east
