Question

a car travels 60m in 2 hours. calculate its average speed

Answer 1

Answer:

30m/hr

Explanation:

The average speed is define as the distance traveled over the time it took traveling that distance.

Now as an equation it looks like this:

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

Where:

v = average speed

d = distance traveled

t = time traveling that distance

We know that the car traveled 60 m in 2 hours.

d = 60 m

t = 2 hours

So we plug that in our equation:

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$v=\dfrac{60m}{2hr}$

$v=30m/hr$
