Question

A car travels from City A to City B to the north. It takes 4 hours, and the road mileage is 200 miles. The map shows that the cities are only 80 miles apart (straight-line distance). Calculate the average velocity and give the direction. [  ] mph [  ]

The average speed would be the 200 miles/4 hours.

The average velocity would be the net displacement to the north at 80 miles/4 hrs =     mph
