To find velocity, we need to calculate the total displacement and divide by the total time taken. April's total displacement is 30 meters north (50 m - 20 m south). Velocity is calculated as displacement/time, so her velocity is 0.5 m/s (30 m / 60 s).

A car moves from a position 50 m south of the library to a new position 250 m north of the library This movement takes 15 seconds What is the velocity of the car?

The displacement of the car is 200 m (250 m north - 50 m south). The time taken is 15 seconds. Therefore, the velocity of the car is 200 m divided by 15 seconds, which equals 13.33 m/s north.


What is your velocity if you traveled 2000 m south in 400 seconds?

Velocity is distance/time. So, 2000/400 reduces to 5 m/s, but since velocity is a vector, direction MUST be stated along with the speed we just calculated. The final answer is 5 m/s South (or 270 degrees).


What is the velocity of an car that travels 50 miles north turns around and travels 50 miles south in 5 hours Question 6 options 0 2 mph south 5 mph south 25 mph north?

The car's net displacement is 0 miles (north 50 miles - south 50 miles). Since the total time taken is 5 hours, the velocity is 0 mph because velocity is displacement divided by time, resulting in 0 mph.


What is the resultant velocity of the duck if it flies 10.0 ms due south against a gust of wind with a speed of 2.5 ms?

You said "against ... wind", and that's all the information I have that specifies the direction of the wind. I have to understand that to mean that the wind is from the south toward the north. In that case, the wind vector is exactly opposite to the duck vector. So, during the gust, the duck's ground speed is (10.0 - 2.5) = 7.5 ms.


What is the difference between speed and velocity is that velocity?

Velocity is speed and its direction. "30 miles per hour" is a speed. "30 miles per hour north" is a velocity". "30 miles per hour north" and "30 miles per hour south" are identical speeds but different velocities.

.5 north


April moves from a position 5 m north of her front door to a new position that is 3 m south of her front door if this movement takes her 4 seconds what is her velocity?

Displacement: 8 m south Time: 4 seconds Therefore velocity = 2 metres per second Southwards.


Tom walked 450 m south He then turned and walked 150 m to the north in 600 seconds What was his velocity?

He walked 600m in 600 seconds so his velocity is 1m/s (one metre per second)

What is the velocity of someone going north on main street for 1800 m then south on main street for 2200 m and the total time is 400 seconds?

The person travels a total of 4000 m in 400 seconds, so their average speed is 10m/s. However velocity is a vector quantity, and is defined as displacement/time. The total displacement is only 400 m, so the average velocity is just 1m/s.

Is 300kmh north the same velocity as 300kmh south?

No. Velocity is described as a speed in a certain direction. Since they are in different directions, they are different velocities.


Can you have a negative velocity followed by south?

What I mean is can you have a negative velocity followed by "south". (i.e. -7.5 m/s south) or would the velocity be 7.5 m/s south? My opinion is that the negative sign is not necessary since south is already "negative" so you would be canceling out the negative if you have the sign making it 7.5 m/s north.
