Question

9-12 forces intro assessment
the train traveled 500 kilometers north to sacramento in 2 hours.
velocity is
distance is
time is

Explanation:

Step1: Recall velocity formula

Velocity $v=\frac{\text{displacement}}{\text{time}}$, and displacement has direction. Given the train travels 500 km north in 2 hours.
$v=\frac{500\text{ km north}}{2\text{ h}} = 250\text{ km/h north}$

Step2: Identify distance

Distance is the total path length. Here, the train travels 500 kilometers, so distance = 500 km.

Step3: Identify time

The time taken for the train to travel is given as 2 hours.

Answer:

Velocity is 250 km/h north
Distance is 500 km
Time is 2 h
