What is the velocity of a car that traveled a total of 75 miles NORTH in 1.5 hours? Give the correct units.

112 km/hr

50 miles per hour 

112 mph NORTH

50 miles per hour NORTH

To calculate the velocity, we use the formula for velocity:

\[
\text{Velocity} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]

Given:
- Distance = 75 miles
- Time = 1.5 hours

\[
\text{Velocity} = \frac{75 \, \text{miles}}{1.5 \, \text{hours}} = 50 \, \text{miles per hour (mph)}
\]

Since the car traveled **north**, we specify the direction in the velocity. Thus, the correct answer is:

**50 miles per hour NORTH**
