Question

what is the velocity of the object that travels 60 meters west in 5 seconds?
12 s
300 m/s west
0.0833 m/s west
12 m/s west
300 s
12 m west
300 m west
65 m/s west

Explanation:

Step1: Recall velocity formula

Velocity $v = \frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}}$

Step2: Substitute given values

Displacement = 60 m West, Time = 5 s
$v = \frac{60\ \text{m}}{5\ \text{s}} = 12\ \text{m/s West}$

Step3: Match with options

Identify the correct calculated value from choices.

Answer:

12 m/s west
