Question

2. The fastest car on Earth, called the Thrust SSC, could drive from San Jose to Los Angeles in 30 minutes. That is a distance of 564 km. What is the speed of the car?

Answer 1

speed = distance / time

speed = 564 km / 0.5 h

speed = 1128 km/h

or

distance = 564 000 m

time = 30 min = 1800 s

speed = 564000m/1800s

speed = 313.3 m/s
