Answer:

v = 135.13 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The race car was moving for 3.7 hours and during that time it traveled a distance of 500 miles south.

We need to find the speed of the car.

We know that,

Speed = distance/time

So,


v=(500\ miles)/(3.7\ h)\\\\v=135.13\ mph

So, the speed of the car is equal to 135.13 mph.
