Using the formula velocity = distance / time
So required velocity = 1600 / 10 x 60 = 2.667 m/s
total velocity * * * * * It is the average speed, not velocity which is a vector.
Speed is equal to the magnitude of velocity almost always. Speed is total distance / total time no matter which way the distance goes. Velocity is the distance from a starting point divided by total time.
If constant motion means constant velocity then, total distance / total time = avg velocity => avg speed constant velocity => avg velocity = velocity
The total distance divided by the total time equals the "Average speed" during that time.
For uniform motion, distance = velocity*time where uniform implies that the velocity is a constant. Therefore distance = v*time and so, if time increases by t, the distance increases by vt.

Average velocity is def.ined as the ratio of total displacement to total time taken.
If constant motion means constant velocity then, total distance / total time = avg velocity => avg speed constant velocity => avg velocity = velocity
Average velocity.
255 km
Average Velocity = Total Distance / Total Time
The distance travelled, and the time taken.
The total distance divided by the total time equals the "Average speed" during that time.
Total distance is 1.4 km = 1400 m, total time is 20.2 minutes = 1212 seconds. Average speed = 1.155 m/s. Or is this a catch question to see if you understand the difference between speed and velocity? Velocity has a direction as well as a speed, this is called a vector quantity, and since you come back to the starting point, the average velocity is in fact zero. Note that I originally said speed is 1.155 m/s, not velocity.
For uniform motion, distance = velocity*time where uniform implies that the velocity is a constant. Therefore distance = v*time and so, if time increases by t, the distance increases by vt.
Since average velocity is total displacement over total time, the answer is 0m/s, because there is no displacement. (Remember, velocity has a direction unlike speed).
