To calculate the average speed, we use the formula:

$\text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}}$

Given:

• Total distance = 140 meters
• Total time = 10 seconds

Substituting these values into the formula:

$\text{Average Speed} = \frac{140 \, \text{meters}}{10 \, \text{seconds}} = 14 \, \text{meters/second}$

So, the average speed of the golf cart is 14 meters/second.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are some related questions for further exploration:

1. What would the average speed be if the golf cart covered the same distance in 20 seconds?
2. How would the formula for average speed change if you knew the time in minutes instead of seconds?
3. If the golf cart traveled for 10 seconds at varying speeds, how would you calculate its average speed?
4. What is the difference between average speed and instantaneous speed?
5. How can average speed be useful in real-life scenarios, like transportation planning?

Tip: Remember that speed is a scalar quantity, which means it only has magnitude (how fast something is moving) but not direction.
