![**Question 7:** What was the average velocity of a plane that takes 330.0 seconds to travel 42760.0 meters?
---
**Explanation:**
To calculate the average velocity of the plane, use the formula for average velocity:
\[ \text{Average Velocity} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} \]
In this case:
- Total Distance = 42760.0 meters
- Total Time = 330.0 seconds
Substitute these values into the formula:
\[ \text{Average Velocity} = \frac{42760.0 \, \text{meters}}{330.0 \, \text{seconds}} \]
\[ \text{Average Velocity} = 129.576 \, \text{meters per second} \]
Therefore, the average velocity of the plane is 129.576 meters/second.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fe44e0876-942a-4733-ac3b-899fc9beb500%2F16cf09f8-6cfb-422e-a11f-abcc7a7e267f%2Fcmg2ku_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
