Question

a table which records the speed of a toy car. Two trials showing the data: Trial 1 - distance (m) 8.1 time (sec) 4 Trial 2 - distance (m) 7.3 time (sec) 6. What was the average speed of the toy car during the two trials to the nearest tenth of a m/s

Answer 1

The average speed of the toy car during the two trials is 1.54 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of the toy car during the two trials can be calculated by dividing the total distance covered by the total time taken.

In Trial 1, the distance covered is 8.1 meters and the time taken is 4 seconds.

In Trial 2, the distance covered is 7.3 meters and the time taken is 6 seconds.

The total distance covered is 8.1 + 7.3 = 15.4 meters, and the total time taken is 4 + 6 = 10 seconds.

Therefore, the average speed of the toy car during the two trials is 15.4 meters / 10 seconds = 1.54 meters per second (m/s) to the nearest tenth.
