What is the speed of a vehicle that travels 20 meters in 5 seconds

Question

20 meters in 5 seconds trying to find the speed

Answer 1

Hello Travis, my question is what units do you want for speed? Using the formula distance = rate * time, the equivalent formula is rate = distance / time.

 

So, 20 meters divided by 5 seconds is 4 meters per second or 4m/s.

 

If you want in terms of miles per hour, kilometers per hour or other, that's just a few more steps.

 

Good luck, TV
