Question

a bus travels a total distance of 300 km over 5 hours on its route. which statement correctly describes its average speed? the average speed is 60 km/h. the average speed is 60 km/h east. the average velocity is 60 km/h. the displacement is 300 km.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for average speed

The formula for average speed is $v=\frac{d}{t}$, where $d$ is the total distance and $t$ is the total time.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given $d = 300$ km and $t=5$ h. Then $v=\frac{300}{5}$ km/h.

Step3: Calculate the value of average speed

$\frac{300}{5}=60$ km/h.

Answer:

The average speed is 60 km/h.
