Answer:

By the information provided we can find the cars speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Speed is the distance traveled by any object in certain time. As we have distance traveled by car as 30 miles.
  • And time taken by car to travel 30 miles is half an hour. So speed is easily calculated as,
    Speed = (Distance )/(Time ).
  • Velocity is a vector quantity so we cannot determine velocity by knowing only distance and time, we need additional information of direction to know cars velocity.
  • So the speed will be,
    Speed =
    (30)/(0.5) = 60 miles/hour.
