Answer:
31.3mph North
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Distance traveled = 1500miles
Time taken = 48hrs
Unknown:
Velocity of the group of explorers = ?
Solution:
Velocity is the displacement divided by the time taken. It is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.
So;
Velocity = [tex]\frac{displacement}{time}[/tex]
Displacement is the distance moved in a specific direction = 1500miles North
Insert the parameters and solve;
Velocity = [tex]\frac{1500}{48}[/tex] = 31.3mph North
