A rocket ship travels 100 km in 10 s. What is the information that you know in order to help you calculate the rocket ship's average speed?

Respuesta :

basic division, divide 100km by 10 and you get the average speed of the ship.

10 Km/s

you do need the distance traveled and the time it took to travel that distance for this method

Answer:

Average speed of the rocket, v = 10000 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by the rocket, d = 100 km = 100000 m

Time taken, t = 10 s

The rocket ship's average speed is given by :

[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]v=\dfrac{100000\ m}{10\ s}[/tex]

v = 10000 m/s

So, the average speed of the rocket is 10000 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
