If April swam 50 M North then swam 20 M South back then her velocity would be 16.66. This is a math problem.

If the person sat on the train their velocity relative to the ground would be 95kph. But he/she is goind 3kph to oppose this. So 95-3 = 92 kph to the north is velocity of person relative to the ground.
Average speed = Total Distance/Total Time = (15+25)/2 = 40/2 = 20 miles per hour. Velocity (due North) = Total NET distance North/Total Time = (15-25)/2 = -10/2 = -5 miles per hour or, velocity due South = 5 miles per hour.
The overall velocity would increase. The ball would then have a curved path with some velocity vector in the North South direction and some vector in the East West Direction
yes
The resultant velocity of a plane is 75 km/hr.
.5 north
Displacement: 8 m south Time: 4 seconds Therefore velocity = 2 metres per second Southwards.
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).
He walked 600m in 600 seconds so his velocity is 1m/s (one metre per second)
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.
1.5 m.s north thanks to m.e.h :D
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).
20 m/s north
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.
5 m/s south
No. Velocity is described as a speed in a certain direction. Since they are in different directions, they are different velocities.
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.
