Answer: The speed of the car is 17.4 m/s
Explanation:
Speed is defined as the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken.
Mathematically,
\(\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time taken}}\)
We are given:
Distance traveled = 112.6 km = 112600 m (Conversion used: 1 km = 1000 m)
Time taken = 1.8 hr = \(1.8\times 3600=6480s\) (Conversion factor: 1 hr = 3600s)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
\(\text{Speed of car}=\frac{112600m}{6480s}=17.4m/s\)
Hence, the speed of the car is 17.4 m/s
