A Nascar race track is 4.28 Km in length and a car drives 5 times around the race track. If it takes 4 minutes to complete them, what was the average velocity of the car?

Respuesta :

The average velocity of the car is 17.83 m/s.

What is average velocity?

Average velocity is defined as the change in position or displacement (∆x) divided by the time intervals (∆t) in which the displacement occurs.

average velocity = ∆x/∆t

where;

  • ∆x is change in position
  • ∆t is change in time of motion

5 times around the race track, results in odd times of movement.

Change in position = 4.28 km = 4280 m

time taken = 4 mins x 60 s/min = 240 seconds

average velocity = 4280 m / 240 s

average velocity = 17.83 m/s

Thus, the average velocity of the car is 17.83 m/s.
