After shopping, it took Manuel 87 seconds to push a shopping cart directly to his car. In one-

third of that time, Manuel had moved 58 meters at a constant velocity. What was the cart's

velocity?

Answer:

The carts velocity= 2m/s

Explanation:

It took Manuel 87 seconds to push a shopping cart directly to his car.

One third of 87 = 87/3 = 29

In 29 seconds the carts moved 58 meter's.

The carts velocity = distance/time

The carts velocity = 58/29

The carts velocity= 2m/s
