Question

A car is traveling at an average speed of 70 m/s. How many km would the car travel in 6.5 hrs. ?

Answer 1

Answer:

38,769.23 miles

Explanation:

given:

A car is traveling at an average speed of 70 m/s.

find:

How many km would the car travel in 6.5 hrs. ?

solution:

distance = velocity over time

let velocity = 70 m/s

           time = 6.5 hrs.

convert velocity 70 m/s into m/h for consistency of units.

70 mi. x   3600 sec.  =  252,000 mi/hour

  sec.          1 hr.

now plugin values into the formula d = v/t

d = 252,000 miles/hour

              6.5 hours

d = 38,769.23 miles

therefore, the distance travelled in 6.5 hours with a speed of 70 m/s is 38,769.23 miles
