Nancy ran a distance of 5km in 30 minutes. What is her speed in meters(m) per hour)h)
1 answer:
The speed of Nancy who ran a distance of 5 km in 30 minutes is 10000 meters(m) per hour(h).
<h3>What is the rate of speed?</h3>
The rate of speed is the rate at which the total distance is travelled in the time taken. Rate of speed can be given as,
Here, (d) is the distance travelled by the object and (t) is the time taken but the object to cover that distance.
Nancy ran a distance of 5 km in 30 minutes. There are 60 minutes in one hour. Thus, the time in hour for which Nancy ran is,
The meters in 5 kilometers is,
She ran 5000 kilometers in 0.5 hours. Thus, the speed of her is,
Thus, the speed of Nancy who ran a distance of 5 km in 30 minutes is 10000 meters(m) per hour(h).

1) In a circular motion, the angular displacement 
is given by
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire:
. Using the information about the radius, 
, we find the total angular displacement:
2) If we put larger tires, with radius
, the angular displacement will be smaller. We can see this by using the same formula. In fact, this time we have:
where S is the arc length and r is the radius. The problem says that the truck drove for 2600 m, so this corresponds to the total arc length covered by the tire:
