<PRE><B>Question 573772</B>
Distance(d) equals Rate(r) times Time(t) or d=rt;  r=d/t and t=d/r

1 kilometer=1000 meters
4.1 min=4.1*60=246 sec
d=1000 meters
time=246 sec
soooo, velocity=1000 meters/246 sec West=4.065 meters/sec WEST
P.S. Velocity is a vector. It is made up of both speed and direction

Hope this helps---ptaylor</PRE>
