What is the velocity of a group of explorers traveling from Antarctica to Australia, traveling 1500 miles in 48 hours?

31.3 mph north

48 mph

31.25 mph south

72,000 mph

1 answer

To calculate the velocity, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken.

Velocity = Distance / Time

Given that the explorers travel 1500 miles in 48 hours, we can calculate the velocity as:

Velocity = 1500 miles / 48 hours

Velocity ≈ 31.25 miles per hour

Therefore, the velocity of the group of explorers traveling from Antarctica to Australia is approximately 31.25 mph (south).
