Concept explainers
To Explain: Whether the calculated speed is reasonable or not.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The speed of a car is calculated by using a formula speed = distance /time
And the speed calculated is 290 km/hr
Formula used: distance = speed × time
The calculated speed is not reasonable because it is of high magnitude which is not practical. If a car is moving on a highway where traffic on a road the speed of a car get varied. So, the calculated speed is the average of entire travel. At this time the equation is not reasonable.
If the car is moving in race or in speed test, the equation is reasonable since the speed of car remains constant throughout. So, the value calculated is of entire travel of a car is constant so the given equation is reasonable.
