What is the velocity of a group of explorers traveling from Antarctica to Australia, traveling 1500 miles in 48 hours?31.25 mph south 72,000 mph
48 mph
31.3 mph north

31.3mph North

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance traveled  = 1500miles

Time taken  = 48hrs

Unknown:

Velocity of the group of explorers = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by the time taken. It is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.

 So;

       Velocity =

Displacement is the distance moved in a specific direction = 1500miles North

 Insert the parameters and solve;

   Velocity =   = 31.3mph North
