a student driving a car travels 10.0 km in 30,0 min.What was her average speed?
10 km/(0.5 h) = 20 km/h
There must be a lot of traffic or stop lights.
To find the average speed of the student driving the car, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
Given:
Distance traveled = 10.0 km
Time taken = 30.0 min
Step 1: Convert the time to hours
Since the distance is given in kilometers, let's convert minutes to hours. We know that there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.
30.0 min ÷ 60 = 0.5 hours
Step 2: Calculate average speed
Average speed = Distance ÷ Time
Average speed = 10.0 km ÷ 0.5 hours
Average speed = 20 km/hour
Therefore, the student's average speed was 20 km/hour.
