Question

A small toy car travels 2.0 meters in 120 seconds. what is the speed of the car?

Answer 1

Answer:$\dfrac{1}{60} ms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Speed of an object is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by the object to the time taken to cover that distance.

Let $s$ be the speed of the object.

Let $D$ be the distance travelled by the object.

Let $t$ be the time taken by the object.

So,$s=\frac{D}{t}$

s=$\frac{2}{120}=\frac{1}{60}ms^{-1}$

So,the speed of the car is $\frac{1}{60}ms^{-1}$
