Understanding Velocity
Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
* Magnitude: The speed of the object (how fast it's moving).
* Direction: The direction the object is moving.
Calculation
1. Speed: To find the speed, we use the formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 602 meters / 250 seconds
Speed = 2.408 meters per second
2. Direction: The problem states the object moves "East".
Answer
The uniform velocity of the object is 2.408 meters per second East.
