Question
A cart starting from rest travels a distance of 3.6 meters in 1.8 seconds. What is the cart's average speed?A 0.20 m/sB 0.50 m/sC 2.0 m/sD 5.0 m/s
Solution
The average speed of an object is calculated by dividing the total distance travelled by the total time taken. In this case, the cart has travelled a distance of 3.6 meters in 1.8 seconds.
So, the average speed = total distance / total time = 3.6 meters / 1.8 seconds = 2.0 m/s
Therefore, the cart's average speed is 2.0 m/s. So, the correct answer is C. 2.0 m/s.
