Answer 1

Answer:

Av = 25 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of speed, which is defined as the relationship between distance over time. for this case we have.

$Av=\frac{distance}{time}$

where:

Av = speed [km/h] or [m/s]

distance = 180 [km]

time = 2 [hr]

Therefore the speed is equal to:

$Av = \frac{180}{2} \\Av = 90 [km/h]$

Now we must convert from kilometers per hour to meters per second

$90[\frac{km}{h}]*1000[\frac{m}{1km}]*1[\frac{h}{3600s} ]= 25 [m/s]$
