Question

A car covered 450km in 5 hours. find the speed in meters per second​

Answer 1

The car has a velocity of 25 m/s.

Explanation:

There are two ways to solve this problem.

First way :

450km = 450.000m

5h = 5x 3.600s =18.000s

v = s/t = 450.000 / 18.000 = 25m/s

Second way :

Velocity = speed/time = 450 / 5 = 90 km/h

90/3.6 = 25 m/s

Either way, the car has a velocity of 25 m/s.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Hey there!

Given;

Distance (d) = 450 km = 450*1000 = 450000 m

Time(t) = 5 hours = 5*60*60 = 18000s

Now;

Speed (s) = Distance (d) /Time(t)

Or, s = 450000/18000

Or, s = 25m/s.

Therefore, the speed is 25m/s.

Hope it helps!
