distance = rate * time

160 miles = rate * 2 hours

rate = 160 miles / 2 hours

rate = 80 mph

(The sentence about reaching 80 mph in 8 seconds is a red herring. It has no bearing on the solution of the problem.)

What is the average velocity of a runner who completes one lap of a 400m track in 75s?

The average velocity of a runner who completes one lap of a 400m track in 75 seconds is 5.33 m/s. This is calculated by dividing the distance traveled (400m) by the time taken (75s).

What is the average velocity between 0 and 3 seconds?

The average velocity has two parts to it: The average speed and the average direction. The average speed is: (the distance you travel between 0 and 3 seconds) divided by (3). The average direction is: the direction from (the place where you started at 0 seconds) to (the place where you finished at 3 seconds).

The answer will depend on its acceleration.


What is its average acceleration over the first 5.1s of its motion?

To find the average acceleration over the first 5.1 seconds of motion, divide the change in velocity over that time period by the time taken. Calculate the final velocity minus the initial velocity over 5.1 seconds to find the average acceleration.


A runner completes a 400m race in 43.9 seconds in a 100m race he finishes in 10.4 seconds in which race was his speed faster?

What is the distance that the object travels in the first 5 seconds?

To find the distance traveled in the first 5 seconds, we multiply the average velocity by the time traveled. If the object's velocity is constant, this distance is equal to the velocity multiplied by the time.


What is the average velocity between 12.00 and 15.00 seconds?

To find average velocity, you need to know the displacement. If you knew displacement, average velocity would be found by: V = Displacement / time
