Question

Widte speed rom me and distance 502

A yacht sailed at a steady speed for 0.5 hours, passing a cruise ship that was traveling at 25
kilometers per hour. During that time, the yacht traveled 50 kilometers. What was the yacht's
speed?

Answer 1

The speed of the yacht : 100 km/h

Further explanation

Linear motion consists of 2: constant velocity motion with constant velocity and uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration

• At constant velocity motion:

the speed of vo = v = constant

acceleration = a = 0

Δx = vt or x = xo + vt

An equation of constant velocity motion

`\large {\boxed {\bold {x = v * \: t}}}`

x = distance = m

v = speed = m / s

t = time = seconds

A yacht sailed at a steady speed for 0.5 hours, and traveled 50 kilometers

so the velocity/speed:

`\tt v=(x)/(t)\\\\v=(50~km)/(0.5~h)=\boxed{\bold{100~km/h}}`
