The speed of the car is 75 km/h

Further explanation

These are the formulas that we have to remember before solving the problem.

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

$\large { \boxed {v = \frac{d}{t}}}$

v = speed ( m/s )

d = distance ( m )

t = time ( s )

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

$\large { \boxed {a = \frac{\Delta v}{t}}}$

a = acceleration ( m/s² )

Δv = change in speed ( m/s )

t = time ( s )

Let us now tackle the problem!

Given:

distance = d = 150 km

time taken = t = 7200 s = 2 hours

Unknown:

velocity = v = ?

Solution:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

$v = \frac{150}{2}$

$\large {\boxed {v = 75~km/h} }$

The acceleration of the car is 0 m/s² because it travels with constant speed.

We could also plot the distance vs time graph as shown in the attachment.

The speed of the car to 2 significant figures is $\boxed{21\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

Given:

The distance covered by the car is $150\,{\text{km}}$ .

The time taken by the car to cover the distance is $7200\,{\text{s}}$ .

Concept:

The speed of a car defined as the ratio of the distance and the time taken by the car in covering that distance.

Write the expression for the speed of the car as:

$v = \dfrac{{{\text{distance}}}}{{{\text{time}}}}$ …… (1)

Here, is the speed of the car.

The distance covered by the car in meters is.

$\begin{aligned}d&= 150 \times {\text{1000}}\,{\text{m}}\\{\text{ 1}}&={\text{.50}} \times {\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^5}\,{\text{m}}\\\end{aligned}$

Substitute the values in the above expression.

$\begin{aligned}v&= \frac{{1.50 \times {{10}^5}\,{\text{m}}}}{{7200\,{\text{s}}}}\\&= \frac{{1500}}{{72}}\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\&= 20.83\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\&\approx 21\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}\\\end{aligned}$

Thus, the speed of the car to 2 significant figures is $\boxed{21\,{{\text{m}} \mathord{\left/{\vphantom {{\text{m}} {\text{s}}}} \right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\text{s}}}}$ .

You are driving directly behind a pickup truck, going at the same speed as the truck. a crate falls from the bed of the truck to the road. (a) will your car hit the crate before the crate hits the road if you neither brake nor swerve? (b) during the fall, is the horizontal speed of the crate more than, less than, or the same as that of the truck?
