Math Problem Statement
The image lists several scenarios involving distances and times. Calculate the speed for each scenario using the formula: Speed = Distance/Time.
Solution
The image lists several scenarios involving distances and times. To solve for the speed in each case, we can use the formula for speed:
Let's calculate the speed for each:
-
(a) A car travels 60 miles in 2 hours:
-
(c) A cyclist travels 45 miles in 5 hours:
-
(e) A runner runs 100 meters in 10 seconds:
-
(g) A helicopter travels 425 miles in 5 hours:
-
(i) A dog runs 216 meters in 12 seconds:
-
(k) A bird flies 19 miles in 2 hours:
Let me know if you'd like more details about any of these calculations!
Follow-up questions:
- How do we convert speeds from miles per hour to meters per second?
- What is the speed of the runner in kilometers per hour?
- How does speed differ between land and air vehicles based on the examples?
- Can we calculate the acceleration for the runner if we knew their initial speed?
- How does the time factor affect the speed across different examples?
Tip: Remember that 1 mile is equal to approximately 1,609.34 meters when converting between miles and meters.
