You divide the distance traveled by the time.
16.66 meters per second
26
3.00 m/s
Divide the distance by the time. That will give you the speed in kilometers/hour. Then divide that by 3.6 to convert to meters/second.
27 meters in 18 seconds is the same as 1.5 meters in 1 second, 90 meters in 1 minute, 5400 meters in 60 minutes, or 5.4 kilometers per hour.
1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. 4.1 minutes is equal to 246 seconds. Velocity would equal 1000 meters divided by 246 seconds. So the answer is 4.065 meters per second West.
Hint: 10000 meters = 10 km, 30 minutes = ½ hour... 10,000 meters in 30 minutes = 10 kilometers per 0.5 hour = 20 kilometers per hour
At what depth should a velocity sensor be placed to estimate a stream's average velocity if it is 12.5 meters deep?
The S.I unit for velocity is meters per second (m s-1).
.5 meters per second.
approx. 50 seconds
Think of average velocity as "overall" velocity. For example, if I walk down the block (let's say it's a distance of 100 meters), and it takes me 5 minutes, my AVERAGE velocity is just:v_ave = Δx/Δtwhere Δx is the change in position and Δt is the elapsed time.v_ave = (100 m) / (5 min)v_ave = (100 m) / (300 sec)v_ave = (1/3) m/sBut instantaneous velocity is a different concept: let's say for a while I walked, then I jogged, then I stopped, then I sprinted, then I walked. The overall trip still ended up taking me 5 minutes, so my average velocity is just as I've calculated it above, but my INSTANTANEOUS velocity changes as I change speeds at any given time in between.Hope this helps!
Magnitude of average acceleration = (change of speed) divided by (time for the change)Average 'A' = (16 - 6) / 240 seconds = 10/240 = 1/24 meter per second2-- That's the average over the 4 minutes. We don't know anything about thevalue of the acceleration at any particular instant during the 4 minutes..-- We're working entirely with scalars ... speed, not velocity, and magnitude ofacceleration ... since we don't know anything about the car's direction at anypoint in time during the whole event.
The average velocity is calculated by finding the distance traveled and dividing by the time it took to go that far. In high school, many people learn rate x time= distance. The rate is the average velocity.In this case we have 3.2/7.256=.441013 meters per second. Note the units are meters and seconds so the velocity we have it meters per second. We can convert this to any other units once we have this. Much as mile or meters per hour.
Half a second every metre.
16.66 meters per second
If you can run 800 meters in two minutes your average speed for the 800 meters is 14.91 miles per hour.
