7. The Voyager 1 space probe was launched in the 1970's and is now the furthest
man-made object from earth - it has actually left the solar system. At its current speed it
could travel across the US, a distance of about 4500 km in 265 seconds (a little less
than 5 minutes!) What is its average speed in kilometers per second?

PLEASE HELP I NEED THE FORMULA AND ANSWER THANK YOU!!

Sagot :

Answer:

v = 16.98 km/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 4500 km

Time, t = 265 s

We need to find its average speed. The total distance covered divided by total time taken is called average speed of an object. So,

[tex]v=\dfrac{4500\ km}{265\ s}\\\\=16.98\ km/s[/tex]

So, the average speed is 16.98 km/s.
