To calculate the average velocity of the motorcycle, you can use the formula:
Average velocity = Total displacement / Total time taken
In this case, the displacement (distance traveled) is 2.4 km, and the total time taken is 5 minutes.
First, let's convert the time from minutes to hours, as velocity is typically measured in distance per unit time in hours:
Total time taken = 5 minutes = 5/60 hours (since there are 60 minutes in an hour)
Now, we can calculate the average velocity:
Average velocity = 2.4 km / (5/60) hours
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:
Average velocity = 2.4 km * (60/5) hours
Average velocity = 2.4 km * 12 hours
Average velocity = 28.8 km/h
So, the average velocity of the motorcycle is 28.8 kilometers per hour.
