A group of college students developed a

solar-powered car and entered it in a

race. The car travels at a constant speed

of 100 meters per 4 seconds.

Answer 1

50m/s

Explanation:

Since we are not told what to find, we can as well look for two speed of the car in meter per seconds

If the car travels at a constant speed of 100 meters per 4 seconds, the we can say;

100 meters = 4seconds

Since we want to know the speed in metres per second, we will say;

X meters = 1second

Equating both

100 meters = 4seconds

X meters = 1seconds

Cross multiply

4×X = 200×1

4X = 200

Divide both sides by 4

4X/4 = 200/4

X= 50

Hence the of the car in meter per seconds is 50meters per second
