To calculate the velocity of the horse, we can use the formula for average velocity:
\[
\text{Velocity} = \frac{\text{Total Displacement}}{\text{Total Time}}
\]
In this case, the horse travels around a track and ends up back at the starting point. This means the total displacement is 0 meters. The total time taken is 40 seconds.
Now we can plug in the values:
\[
\text{Velocity} = \frac{0 \, \text{m}}{40 \, \text{s}} = 0 \, \text{m/s}
\]
So, the horse's velocity is **0 m/s**.
\[
\text{Velocity} = \frac{\text{Total Displacement}}{\text{Total Time}}
\]
In this case, the horse travels around a track and ends up back at the starting point. This means the total displacement is 0 meters. The total time taken is 40 seconds.
Now we can plug in the values:
\[
\text{Velocity} = \frac{0 \, \text{m}}{40 \, \text{s}} = 0 \, \text{m/s}
\]
So, the horse's velocity is **0 m/s**.
