Calculate the velocity of a mountain climber who is moving northeast at a pace of 1.6 km in 1.4 hours. Use the FACTOR LABEL method to convert your answer to meters per second (m/s)

Respuesta :

  • Displacement=1.6km
  • Time=1.4h

[tex]\\ \tt\Rrightarrow Velocity=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\Rrightarrow Velocity=\dfrac{1.6}{1.4}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\Rrightarrow Velocity=8/7=1.1km/h[/tex]

Answer:

velocity = 0.3175 m/s

Explanation:

given:

  • 1.6 km
  • 1.4 hours

conversion:

1 km ↔ 1000 m

1.6 km ↔ 1600 m

        and

1 hours ↔ 3600 seconds

1.4 hours ↔ 5040 seconds

The distance is 1600 m and time is 5040 seconds. this was done as velocity is asked as * m/s *

solve:

[tex]velocity = \dfrac{distance}{time}[/tex]

[tex]velocity = \dfrac{1600}{5040}[/tex]

[tex]velocity = 0.3175[/tex]
