Question

26. Pete drives 150 meters in 18 seconds. What is his speed in meters per second?

Answer 1

All you have to do is divide 150 by 18 and that will get you how many meters Pete drives per second

150 ÷ 18

8.3333333333333333333

so...

8.3 m/s (B)

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Speed is defined as quotient of distance and time.

$s=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{150}{18}=8.33\dots$

Speed is a scalar value therefore we cannot determine its vector. Speed with vector is known as velocity and that is where we specify its vector because velocity is a vector value.

So the answer is 8.3 m/s.

Hope this helps.
