The Atlas V Rocket could go 1 full mile in just 

1

10

 of a second. How fast did it travel?

To determine how fast the Atlas V rocket traveled, we can calculate its speed based on the given information.

We know that the rocket traveled 1 mile in \( \frac{1}{10} \) of a second. Speed is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that distance:

\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}
\]

Substitute the known values:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{1 \, \text{mile}}{\frac{1}{10} \, \text{seconds}} = 1 \times \frac{10}{1} = 10 \, \text{miles per second}
\]

So, the Atlas V rocket was traveling at 10 miles per second.

Would you like further clarifications or more details? Here are some related questions:

1. How fast is the rocket in miles per hour?
2. If the rocket traveled for 5 seconds at this speed, how many miles would it cover?
3. How long would it take the rocket to travel 100 miles at this speed?
4. What is the speed of the rocket in kilometers per second (1 mile ≈ 1.609 km)?
5. How fast is this compared to the speed of sound (approximately 0.21 miles per second)?

**Tip:** When solving speed problems, always ensure the units for distance and time are compatible before performing the calculation.

The Atlas V Rocket could go 1 full mile in just 1/10 of a second. How fast did it travel?

Find out how to calculate the speed of the Atlas V Rocket traveling 1 mile in 1/10 of a second. This problem involves basic speed calculations and understanding how to apply the formula Speed = Distance / Time. Suitable for students in Grades 5-7.
