Question

In our new car, we were able to drive 30 miles in a half an hour. From this information, we can determine the car's

acceleration.
velocity.
speed.
direction.

Answer 1

You can determine the speed of the car since you have the distance in half an hour. You have distance and time, so you can find speed.

Hope this helped!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

Speed = 26.8 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that, in our new car, we were able to drive 30 miles in a half an hour. Here, 30 miles is distance covered by the car and half an hour is the time taken by the car to cover that distance.

We know that distance covered by an object divided by the time taken to cover that distance is called the speed of the car. Mathematically, it can be written as :

`s=(d)/(t)`

d = 30 miles = 48280.3 m

t = 1/2 hour = 1800 s

So,
`s=(48280.3\ m)/(1800\ s)`

s = 26.8 m/s

Hence, we can determine the car's speed and it is equal to 26.8 m/s
