What is the speed of a car that travels 150 km in 3.00 hrs? Is the car speeding on 84th st? (1.0 m/s = 2.23 mi/hr)
Speed = (distance) / (time for the distance)
= (150 km) / (2 hours) = (150 / 2) (km/hour) = 75 km/hour .
(about 46.6 miles/hour)
We don't know the posted speed limit on 84th Street,
so have no basis on which to issue a traffic citation
for a moving violation.
Speed of a car that travels 150 km in 3.00 hrs is 30.97mi/hr
Explanation:
Given:
Distance = 150km
Time = 3hrs
To find:
Speed of the car:
Solution:
\(Speed = \frac{distance}{time}\)
So by substituting in the equation we get that,
\(Speed =\frac{150}{3}\)
Speed= 50km/hr
1km/hr = (5/18)m/s
So,
speed = 50*5/18
\(speed =\text{50}*\frac{5}{18}\)
speed=(\(\frac{250}{18}\))m/s
1m/s = 2.23mi/hr
So we get that,
Speed = \(\text{250}\times\frac{18}{2.23}\)
speed = 30.97mi/hr
