Question

I’m doing a presentation for physics class. We made rockets and my rocket flew 55 km in 3.89 s. What would be my average speed?

Answer 1

Consider that the average speed is given by:

`v_{\text{avg}}=(s)/(t)`

where,

s: distance traveled = 55 km

t: time interval = 3.89 s

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the formula for v_avg:

Hence, the average speed is approximately 14.14 km/s
