The average speed of the car is 20 meters/sec if the car travels a distance of 200 meters in 10 seconds.
Average speed is the total distance that is covered or traveled by the total amount of time. The mathematical representation of the formula is:
- [tex]\overline{v}={\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}}[/tex],
here [tex]\overline{v}[/tex] = average speed,
[tex]\Delta x}[/tex] = total distance covered
[tex]{\Delta t}[/tex] = time
Given:
total distance covered = 200 meters
time = 10 seconds
average speed = ?
Solution:
Placing the given values in the mentioned formula for the average speed,
[tex]\overline{v}={\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}}\\\\\overline{v}={\frac{200}{10}[/tex]
= 20 m/s
Thus, the correct answer is - 20 m/s.
