Question

Use this table of a school bus during morning pickups to calculate its average speed between 0 h and 2.340 h.Position (km)Time (h)0.00.0001.20.0242.80.0514.20.08416.32.340

Answer 1

6.966 km /hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed is found by subtracting the initial value from the table from the final value. In our case, the initial value is (0.0, 0.000) and the final value is (16.3, 2.340)

Therefore, the speed is

`v=\frac{\text{position}}{\text{time}}=(16.3-0.0)/(2.340-0.000)`

which upon evaluating gives

`\boxed{v=6.966}`

Hence, our speed is 6.966 km/hr.
