What is the speed of a motor scooter that can travel 2500ft in 20 min? Give the answer in miles per hour. (1 mile = 5280 foot and 1 hour = 60 mins).

Respuesta :

Answer:

v=[tex]\frac{S}{t}[/tex] = 1.43 miles/hour

2500 ft = 0.473 miles

20 min = 0.33 hour

Explanation:

The definition of speed allows you to find the answer for the speed of the scooter is:

          v = 1.42 mi / h

The velocity of a body is defined as the change in position between the time of the interval

         [tex]v = \frac{\Delta x}{t}[/tex]

Where v is the velocity, Δx the change in position and t the time

They indicate that the distance is Δx = 2500 ft and the time is t = 20 min, we look for the velocity

          v = [tex]\frac{2500}{20}[/tex]

          v = 125 ft / min

In the problem they indicate that the answer is given in miles per hour, let's reduce the units

       v = 125 ft / min ([tex]\frac{1 mile}{5280 ft}[/tex])  ([tex]\frac{60min}{1h}[/tex])

       v = 1.42 mi / h

In conclusion using the definition of speed we can find the answer for the speed of the scooter is:

          v = 1.42 mi / h
