Question

You leave Fort worth ,Texas,at 2:41 p.m. and arrive in Dallas at 3:23 p.m. , covering a distance of 58km. what is your average speed in metres per second ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The time taken to travel from Fort Worth to Dallas is:

t = 3:23 pm - 2:41 pm = 42 minutes = 0.7 hours

The distance covered is:

d = 58 km

The average speed is:

v = d/t = 58 km / 0.7 hours = 82.86 km/h

To convert km/h to m/s, we can use the conversion factor:

1 km/h = 0.2778 m/s

Therefore, the average speed in m/s is:

v = 82.86 km/h × 0.2778 m/s/km = 23.06 m/s (rounded to two decimal places)

So the average speed is 23.06 m/s.
