A car traveling with constant speed travels 150 km in 7200 s. What is the speed of the car?

A car traveling with constant speed travels 150 km in 7200 s. What is the speed of the car? Express the speed with the appropriate units.

Solutions

Expert Solution

distance = 150 km = 150000 m

time = 7200 s

use:

speed = distance / time

= 150000 m / 7200 s

= 20.8 m/s

Answer: 20.8 m/s
