Question

Find the speed of the ATV that goes 60 miles in 2 hours._______________________ m/hr

Answer 1

Given parameters:

Distance of ATV = 60miles

Time = 2hrs

Unknown:

Speed = ?

Solution:

Speed is a scalar quantity. It has magnitude but no direction. Mathematically, speed is distance divided by time.

Speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

Input the parameters;

Speed =
`(60)/(2)` = 30miles/hr

The speed of the ATV is 30miles/hr
