You work in the test area of a rocket manufacturer. During a test, a rocket sled traveled 5000 feet in 6.51 seconds. What was the average speed of the rocket sled to the nearest foot per second?

Respuesta :

The average speed is given by:

[tex]\begin{gathered} v=\frac{total_{\text{ }}distance}{total_{\text{ }}time} \\ so\colon \\ v=\frac{5000ft}{6.51s} \\ v\approx\frac{768ft}{s} \end{gathered}[/tex]
