Explanation:
Given parameters:
Distance = 180m
Time = 12s
Unknown:
Speed in m/s and km/hr
Solution:
Speed is the distance divided by the time taken,
Speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
So;
Speed = [tex]\frac{180}{12}[/tex] = 15m/s
1000m = 1km
3600s = 1hr
Therefore;
15 x m x [tex]\frac{1}{s}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{1km}{1000m}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{3600s}{1hr}[/tex] = 54km/hr
