Best Answer

54 miles per hour

SOLUTION

--------------

1 hr and 20 minutes = 1 and 20/60 hours = 1 1/3 hours = 4/3 hours

72 miles travelled in 4/3 hours

therefore divide 72 by 4/3 to see how far travelled in 1 hour

72 / (4/3) = 72 * (3/4) = 54 miles in 1 hour

How do you find the average velocity in ms of a bicycle that starts 150 meters north of town and is 1200 meters north of town in 30.0 minutes?

You divide the distance traveled by the time.


If Joe rides south on his bike in a straight line for 15 min with an average velocity of 12.5km how far has he ridden?

Joe has ridden a distance of 3.125 km in 15 minutes since velocity is distance traveled divided by time taken.


What will be the distance traveled by a car after 90 minutes?

It depends upon the speed or velocity of the car for e.g. if speed is 100km/min then Distance = speed X time i.e. D= 100X90= 9000km


A car travels a distance of 60 km in 45 minutes time what is its average speed?

distance traveled=60 km.time =45 minutes=45/60 hrs=0.75 hrsthen speed =distance traveled/total time=60/ 0.75 km/hr=80 km/hr


What is the average velocity in mph of 2.5 miles ran in 15 minutes?

Average speed = Distance/Time = 2.5 miles/15 minutes = 10 miles per hour


How far have you traveled if you go mph for minutes?

distance (s) = velocity (v) x time (t). If you travel v mph for t minutes you travel v x t/60 miles


What is the velocity of a car that traveled a total of 75 kilometers in 1.5 hours?

With the information given, it's not possible to calculate what it is now. But during that 90 minutes, its average velocity was 50 kph north.


What is your initial velocity if you traveled 25 miles in 2 minutes and your final velocity is 0 mile per hour?

If you traveled 25 miles in 2 minutes, your average speed was 25 miles per 2 minutes or 750 miles per hour. If your rate of deceleration was constant, your initial speed was two times 750 miles per hour or 1500 mph. I do not have enough information to determine your initial velocity because I don't know what direction you were going, and velocity is speed with direction.


Julie ran eight laps around her school quarter-mile tarck in 18 minutes her average velocity was ms?

To find the average velocity, we need to know the total distance Julie ran. If she ran eight laps around a quarter-mile track, she covered a total distance of 2 miles. To calculate the average velocity, divide the total distance by the total time taken: 2 miles / 18 minutes = 0.111 miles per minute.


Julie ran eight laps around her schools quarter mile track in 18 minutes Her average velocity was m s?

Julie's average velocity was 5 m/s. (Velocity = distance / time = 8 laps x 0.25 miles per lap / 18 minutes = 5 m/s)


You ran a mile in 12 minutes What is the distance you traveled?

1 mile.


What is the velocity of a bike that traveled four kilometers in forty five minutes?

The bike's average speed during that time was 51/3 kilometers per hour.There's no way to determine its velocity, because the question doesn't giveany information about the bike's direction ... a necessary part of velocity.
