Answer 1

ANSWER

114.52 meters per second

EXPLANATION

We have that the car covers a distance of 5726 meters in 50 seconds.

To find the speed, we have to use the formula for speed which is:

$\text{Speed = }\frac{dis\tan ce}{time}$

So, the unit rate of speed of the car is:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Speed = }\frac{5726}{50} \\ \text{Speed = 114.52 meters per second} \end{gathered}$

That is the unit rate of speed of the car in meters per second.
