Question

What is the average speed of a rock launched 700km from a catapult in 15 seconds

Answer 1

Therefore the average speed of a rock launched 700km from a catapult in 15 seconds is 46666.66 m/s or 46.66 km/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Distance Covered = 700 km = 700 × 1000 meter = 700000 m

Time taken = 15 seconds = 15 s

To Find:

Average speed of a rock = ?

Solution:

Average speed:

Average speed is defined as the rate of total distance covered in per unit time.

It is given as

`\textrm{Average speed }=\frac{\textrm{Total Distance}}{Time}`

Substituting the given values we get

`\textrm{Average speed }=(700000)/(15)=46666.66\ m/s`

Therefore the average speed of a rock launched 700km from a catapult in 15 seconds is 46666.66 m/s or 46.66 km/s.
