A horse travels around a track and ends up back in the same space that it started from. If the horse

Question

travels a distance of 1200 m in 40 seconds, what is the horse's velocity?
answers:
0 m/s

15 m/s

30 m/s

60 m/s

Answer 1

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.
