Answer:
Velocity = 7.2 km/hr SW
Explanation:
Velocity is a vector that includes both speed and direction. Speed is calculated by dividing the distance travelled by the time required for that distance.
Speed = Distance/Time
i'll convert 12,250 meters into 12.250 kilometers (km). Not needed, but it's my preference. Time is 1.7 hours:
Speed = (12.250 km)/(1.7 hr) = 7.2 km/hr (to 2 sig figs)
The direction is southwest, or SW
Velocity = 7.2 km/hr SW
