Answers

  1. Answer:

    100 mph.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Distance covered by an object is 500 miles in 5 hours.

    We need to find the average velocity of the object. It can be given by :

    v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{500\ \text{miles}}{5\ \text{hour}}\\\\v=100\ \text{mph}

    Hence, the average velocity of the object is 100 mph.
