A car travels a total distance of 3.22911x10^2 m to the East in 6.7135x10^1 s. What is the speed of the car, in m/s with 4 significant figures?
Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.
Your Answer: x10
Can you divide the first number by the second? That is all ther is to it.

The units of the speed that you get will be m/s. Then do the rounding to four figures.
That's a pretty slow car, by the way. Most runners go faster than that.
To find the speed of the car, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken.
First, let's convert the given distance to a regular number by multiplying it by 10 raised to the power of its exponent:
3.22911 x 10^2 m = 322.911 m
Similarly, let's convert the given time to a regular number:
6.7135 x 10^1 s = 67.135 s
Now, we can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken:
Speed = Distance / Time = 322.911 m / 67.135 s = 4.812812099 m/s
To reduce this answer to 4 significant figures, we need to round it to the nearest fourth decimal place:
4.8128 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the car, in m/s with 4 significant figures, is 4.8128 m/s.
