Which of the following is an example of a velocity?

284 cm/sec southwest

65 miles per hour

24.5 m/sec2

15 miles in 2 hours

65 miles per hour

Explanation:

Concept being tested: Velocity

We need to know what is velocity;

Velocity is the rate of change in displacement.

How is it calculated?

Velocity is calculated by dividing displacement by time taken. Velocity = Displacement : time taken

What constitutes velocity?

Displacement is the distance covered by a moving body on a specific direction. It is measured in km, miles, meters, etc. Time on the other hand is measured in seconds, mins, hours, etc.

What are some of the units for measuring velocity?

Velocity can, therefore, be measured in km/hr, m/sec. miles/hour, etc

Answer to our question:

Thus, in this case, the most appropriate example of velocity is 65 miles per hour. It means after every 1 hour a displacement of 65 miles is covered.
