Answer:
The woman's average velocity during the trip is 36.2 miles/hour.
Explanation:
Velocity can be define as the displacement of an object per time. It is a vector quantity, and measured in m/s.
i.e velocity = [tex]\frac{displacement}{time}[/tex]
From the given question,
Displacement = [tex]\sqrt{200^{2} + 375^{2} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{40000+140625}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{180625}[/tex]
= 425
The displacement of woman is 425 miles.
velocity = [tex]\frac{425}{11.75}[/tex]
= 36.1702 miles/hour
The woman's average velocity during the trip is 36.2 miles/hour.
