Step 1

We know that 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. So, 2 hours would be equal to $2 \times 60 = 120$ minutes. Adding the extra 41 minutes, we get a total time of $120 + 41 = 161$ minutes. Show more…

Key Concepts

Average Velocity

Average velocity is a fundamental concept in kinematics defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken. It quantifies the rate of change of position and, being a vector, it includes both magnitude and direction. In problems of this nature, care must be taken to consider the net change in position rather than the total distance traveled.

Unit Conversion

Unit conversion involves systematically converting measurements from one unit to another in order to ensure consistency across a calculation. This includes converting lengths (for example, meters to centimeters) and time units (such as hours and minutes), which is critical for computing quantities like average velocity accurately.
