18,000 meters per hour or 18 km/h .

It is more usual, scientifically, to express speed in metres per second (m/s, or ms-1) as these are the SI units for distance and time, respectively. It also makes the maths a heck of a lot easier to work out, as you don't need to convert seconds to hours!

100 m in 20 s is the same as 5 m in 1 s (100 / 20 = 5). So the answer is also 5 ms-1

How fast is an object moving if it travels 350 meters in 7 seconds?

The object is moving at the speed of 50 ms-1 .


If distance is 50 meters and time is 5 seconds what is the speed?

If an object moves 50 meters in 5 seconds, its average speed is 50/5 = 10 meters per second.


How far will an object move in 8 seconds if its average speed during that time is 40 meters per second?

320 meters


An object is dropped on the earth After 1.5 s what is its speed in meters per second?

The object will be moving at 14.7 meters per second. 1.5 seconds X 9.8 meters per second squared(the gravitational constant). This assumes that the object's original velocity is zero.


The speed of an object that that travels 25 meters in 5 seconds?

The average speed is 5 metres per second.


What is the average velocity of an object that travels 6 meters north in 2 seconds and then travels 3 meters east in 1 second?

3.00 m/s


How do you calculate the velocity of a moving object?

The change in distance divided by change in time. So say it moved 10 meters in 5 seconds, it would be 2 meters per second.


What is the velocity of the object between 20 and 40 seconds?

The velocity = (location at 40 seconds - location at 20 seconds)/20 in the direction in which the object is moving.


Can average speed of a moving object be zerogive an example?

No, it can't. Average VELOCITY can be zero, though.


What two things must you know to determine average speed?

To determine average speed, you need to know what distance the object traveled in meters over how long it took the object to travel that distance in seconds.


What is the average speed of an object traveling 2meters in 2 seconds then travels another 80meters duringthe next 40 seconds?

Th eobject traveled 82 meters in 42 seconds, so average speed is 82/42 = m/s = 1.95 m/s


What is the velocity of an object that travels 15 meters in 2 seconds?
