Question

A trekker navigates a meandering path for 5.6 hours to ascend a peak. The journey spans 11.6 km, culminating at a summit 860 m high and positioned 9.0 km due north of the commencement point. Assess the trekker's mean speed and the average velocity vector's magnitude and orientation.

Accepted Answer

Average Speed: 2.07 km/h, Average velocity vector: (1.61 $\overrightarrow{j}$ + 0.15 $\overrightarrow{k}$ )km/hr, Magnitude: 1.61 km, Direction: 5.4° above the horizontal, due N

Answer

Average Speed: 6.07 km/h, Average velocity vector: (1.61 $\overrightarrow{j}$ + 0.15 $\overrightarrow{k}$ )km/hr, Magnitude: 1.61 km, Direction: 6.1° above the horizontal, due N

Answer

Average Speed: 2.07 km/h, Average velocity vector: (1.85 $\overrightarrow{j}$ + 1.56 $\overrightarrow{k}$ )km/hr, Magnitude: 1.69 km, Direction: 6.3° above the horizontal, due N

Answer

Average Speed: 2.07 km/h, Average velocity vector: (1.61 $\overrightarrow{j}$ + 0.15 $\overrightarrow{k}$ )km/hr, Magnitude: 3.62 km, Direction: 7.3° above the horizontal, due N
