Hence, the average speed to the cyclist is 16mph.
Speed is defined as the rate of change of position of an object in any direction. Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered. Speed is a scalar quantity as it has only direction and no magnitude.
We know,
distance covered = 4 miles
time taken = 15 minutes = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]hours
speed = [tex]\frac{4}{\frac{1}{4} }[/tex] = 16
Hence, speed is 16.
