Answer:
Explanation:
Average velocity is found in the total displacement experienced in the trip divided by the total time it took to make this trip. If, for the first 2.0 hours, the car travels at 60 km/hr, then in 2.0 hours the car can travel 120 km; if it then travels for 3.0 at 85 km/hr, it can travel 255 km in the same direction. The total time this took was 5.0 hours. So doing the math and rounding correctly by following the rules for the adding and subtracting of sig fig's:
[tex]v=\frac{120+255}{5.0}=\frac{380}{5.0}=76\frac{km}{hr}[/tex]
If you do not round when you add, the average velocity is 75 km/hr
