What is the speed of a car that traveled 500 meter in 30 seconds?
GenaCL600 [577]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

To find speed, you need to remember the formula:

Speed = distance ÷ time

So plug the given values in:

500 ÷ 30 = 16.66

<h3>So the speed is 16.66m/s (metres per second)</h3>
<h2>Hope this helps!</h2>
