Question

Titus drives his jetski a distance of 1000 meters in 7.045 seconds. How fast was he moving in meters per second? How fast was he moving in miles per hour?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) v = 141.9 m/s

b) v = 317.4 miles/h

Explanation:

a) How fast was he moving in meters per second?

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s$

Hence, the jet ski is moving at 141.9 meters per second.

b) How fast was he moving in miles per hour?

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s*\frac{3600 s}{1 h}*\frac{1 mile}{1609.34 m} = 317.4 miles/h$      

Therefore, the jet ski is moving at 317.4 miles per hour.

I hope it helps you!
