A ship moves due east at ` 12km h^(-1)` for one hour and then turns exactly towards south to move for and hour at ` 5 km h^(-1)` . Calculate its average velocity for the given motion.

Explanation

To find the average velocity of the ship, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the distance traveled in each segment of the journey.
- The ship travels due east at a speed of 12 km/h for 1 hour.
- Distance traveled east = Speed × Time = 12 km/h × 1 h = 12 km.

- Then, the ship turns south and travels at a speed of 5 km/h for another hour.
- Distance traveled south = Speed × Time = 5 km/h × 1 h = 5 km.
