Question

Pete is driving down 7th street, He drives 150 meters in 18 seconds, Assumning he does not speed up orslow down, what is his average speed in m/s?

Answer 1

Given data,

Distance travelled by pete.

`d=150\text{ m}`

Time taken by pete.

`t=18\text{ sec}`

Consider the formula for speed.

`s=(d)/(t)`

Substitute the given values.

`\begin{gathered} s=\frac{150\text{ m}}{18\text{ sec}} \\ s=8.3\text{ m/sec.} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the average speed in m/s is 8.3 m/sec.
