Question

A jet travels 1000 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?

A. 200 km/h
B. 500 km/h
C. 1005 km/h
D. 5000 km/h

Answer 1

Given:

Total distance = 1000 kilometer

Total time = 5 hours

To find:

Average speed = ?

Formula used:

`v_(avg)` =
`(s)/(t)`

Where
`v_(avg)` = average speed

s = total distance

t = total time

Solution:

Average speed of the jet is given by,

`v_(avg)` =
`(s)/(t)`

Where
`v_(avg)` = average speed

s = total distance

t = total time

`v_(avg)` =
`(1000)/(5)`

`v_(avg)` = 200 km/ h

Thus, average speed of the jet is 200 km/h.

Hence, Option (A) is correct.
