The average velocity of the whole journey will be total distance covered divided by the total time. It will be approximately equal to 8 m/s. The right answer is option B

VELOCITY

Velocity is the distance travelled in a specific direction. While the average velocity of the whole journey will be total distance covered divided by the total time

When driving a Toyota avensis car along a straight road for 16.5km at

50km/h,

The velocity = 50 km/h

Distance = 16.5 km

Use the speed formula to calculate time.

Speed = distance / time

Time = distance / speed

Time = 16.5 / 50

Time = 0.33 s

If over the next 20min, you walked another 2.5km further along the road for a petrol station, Then,

average velocity = Total distance covered divided by total time taken.

Where

The time t = 20/60 = 0.333 h

Total time = 0.33 + 0.3333

Total time = 0.6633333

Total distance = 16.5 + 2.5

Total distance = 19 km

Average velocity = 19 / 0.66333

Average Velocity = 28.64 km/h

Now convert Km/h to m/s

(28.6432 x 1000) / 3600

286432 / 3600

7.956m/s

Therefore, the average velocity of the whole journey from beginning of the drive to the arrival at the filling station will be approximately 8 m/s
