An avalanche comes down the East side of the mountain. If the avalanche lasted for 97 seconds and travels 4.5 miles, what was the velocity of the avalanche?

Respuesta :

The velocity of the avalanche is 0.04 miles / sec. If the avalanche lasted for 97 seconds and travels 4.5 miles,

What is Velocity ?

Velocity is a vector expression of the displacement that an object or particle undergoes with respect to time .

The standard unit of velocity magnitude (also known as speed ) is the meter per second (m/s). Alternatively, the centimeter per second (cm/s) can be used to express velocity magnitude.

Given ;

  • Time = 97 sec

  • Distance = 4.5 miles

Formula used ;

Velocity = Distance / Time

Therefore,

Velocity =  4.5 miles / 97 sec

              = 0.04 miles / sec
