Hi, sorry for the late answer, but the answer is A) 6 km/h west, i took the test
hope this helps!
Answer:
6 km/h west
Explanation:
During part c of the hike, the hiker moved 6 km west, and the time was 9.45 am to 10.45 am.
So, we have:
- displacement: d = 6 km west
- time taken: from 9.45 am to 10.45 am = 1 hour
Therefore, the average velocity is given by the ratio between displacement and time taken:
[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{6 km}{1 h}=6 km/h[/tex]
and the direction is the same as the displacement (west)
