Question

A rocket ship travels 100 km in 10 s. What is the information that you know in order to help you calculate the rocket ship's average speed?

Answer 1

basic division, divide 100km by 10 and you get the average speed of the ship.

10 Km/s

you do need the distance traveled and the time it took to travel that distance for this method

Answer 2

Average speed of the rocket, v = 10000 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by the rocket, d = 100 km = 100000 m

Time taken, t = 10 s

The rocket ship's average speed is given by :

`v=(d)/(t)`

`v=(100000\ m)/(10\ s)`

v = 10000 m/s

So, the average speed of the rocket is 10000 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
