Question

The car transports 180 m in 12 s. Calculate its speed and express it in m / s and in km / h

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance = 180m

Time = 12s

Unknown:

Speed in m/s and km/hr

Solution:

Speed is the distance divided by the time taken,

Speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

So;

Speed =
`(180)/(12)` = 15m/s

1000m = 1km

3600s = 1hr

Therefore;

15 x m x
`(1)/(s)` x
`(1km)/(1000m)` x
`(3600s)/(1hr)` = 54km/hr
