Question

4 numeric 1 point calculate the velocity of a southbound cruise ship that travels a distance of 125 miles in 2 hours time. answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall velocity formula

Velocity \( v \) is calculated by the formula \( v=\frac{d}{t} \), where \( d \) is distance and \( t \) is time.

Step2: Substitute values

Given \( d = 125 \) miles and \( t = 2 \) hours. Substitute into the formula: \( v=\frac{125}{2} \)

Step3: Calculate the result

\( \frac{125}{2}=62.5 \) miles per hour (and direction is south, but for magnitude it's 62.5).

Answer:

62.5 miles per hour (or 62.5 mph)
