a taxi cab drives 2.0 km (W). then 3.0 km (N) , then 4.0 km (W), and finally 5.0 km (N). the entire trip takes 0.30 h. what is the taxi's average velocity?

1 answer

The total distance travelled by the taxi is 2.0 km + 3.0 km + 4.0 km + 5.0 km = 14.0 km.
The total time taken for the trip is 0.30 hours.
Therefore, the average velocity of the taxi is 14.0 km / 0.30 h = 46.67 km/h (rounded to two decimal places). Answer: \boxed{46.67 \text{ km/h}}.
