Question

Matt is driving down 7th street. He drives 150 meters in 18 seconds. Assuming he does not speed up or slow down, what is his speed?

Answer 1

The definition of the speed (v): is the distance which the body moves in the unit of the time.

In equations:

`v=(d)/(t)`

where d: is the distance in (m) and t: is the time in (sec)

thus

`v=(d)/(t)=(150)/(18)=8.333 m/s`
