Question

The atlas v rocket could go 1 full mile in just 1/10 of a second. How fast did it travel?simplify your answer and write it as an proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number

Answer 1

The speed of an object can be calculated as:

`v=(d)/(t)`

in this case we have:

`v=(1)/((1)/(10))=((1)/(1))/((1)/(10))=(10)/(1)=10`

Therefore the rocket goes at 10 miles per second.
