To determine the velocity of a body, we need to divide the displacement (distance traveled) by the time taken. In this case, the body travels a distance of 600 meters in 5 minutes.
First, we need to convert the time from minutes to seconds because velocity is typically expressed in meters per second. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 5 minutes is equal to 5 * 60 = 300 seconds.
Now we can calculate the velocity:
Velocity = Displacement / Time
Velocity = 600 meters / 300 seconds
Velocity = 2 meters per second
Therefore, the velocity of the body is 2 meters per second when it travels 600 meters in 5 minutes.
