Answer:

536.448m/s or 20miles/hr

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the distance travelled by a body or an object in a specified time.

Speed = Distance/Time

If a hurricane travels a distance of 20 miles in 1 hour.

Distance travelled = 20miles

Time taken = 1hour

Speed = 20miles/1hour

Speed = 20miles/hr

Since 1mile = 1609.344m

20miles = 20×1609.344

20miles = 32186.88m

1hour = 60seconds

Expressing the speed in m/s

Speed = 32186.88m/60s

Speed = 536.448m/s
