Question

What is the speed of a car that traveled 56 m in 4 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 14 \ meters \ per \ second}}$

Explanation:

Speed is the rate of motion and can be found by dividing the distance by the time.

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

The distance covered is 56 meters and the time taken is 4 seconds.

$d= 56 \ m \\t= 4 \ s$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$s=\frac{56 \ m}{4 \ s}$

Divide.

$s= 14 \ m/s$

The speed of the car is 14 meters per second
