Given parameters:
Distance of ATV = 60miles
Time = 2hrs
Unknown:
Speed = ?
Solution:
Speed is a scalar quantity. It has magnitude but no direction. Mathematically, speed is distance divided by time.
Speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Input the parameters;
Speed = [tex]\frac{60}{2}[/tex] = 30miles/hr
The speed of the ATV is 30miles/hr
