Answer:
Velocity, v = 1 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Initially Mike walked 450 m due west and then he turned and walked 150 m to the east.
Time taken, t = 300 s
The displacement of Mike is equal to the difference in final position and the initial position.
d = 450 - 150
d = 300 m
Let v is his velocity. It is equal to the net displacement divided by total time taken.
[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]
[tex]v=\dfrac{300\ m}{300\ s}[/tex]
v = 1 m/s
So, the velocity of Mike is 1 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
