Question

ROCKET SLED On a track at an Air Force base in New Mexico, a rocket sled
travels 3 miles in 6 seconds. What is the average speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: Rocket distance (rocket sled) =3 mil Time Taken=6seconds

Average Speed=Total Distance ÷ Time Taken. Average speed= 3÷ 6=1/2. So therefore average speed in miles per seconds= Average in miles/seconds

Average speed in miles per seconds=1/2

Average in miles/hour = Average speed in miles per seconds/hour.

Average in miles/hour=1/2÷60=30

Therefore Average speed in miles per hour =30 miles per hour
