The time it took for the car to travel the last 360m can be calculated by dividing the distance (360m) by the average speed (27.2 m/s). This gives us a time of 13.2 seconds. To 3 significant figures, this is 13.2 s.
Explanation: The average speed of the car between the two sensors was calculated by the average speed camera. This average speed can be used to calculate the time it took for the car to travel the last 360m by dividing the distance by the average speed.
A car is travelling down a road and passes the first sensor of an average speed camera. Just after the car passes the first sensor, the car travels a distance of 740m in 27 seconds. It then travels 1400m in 50 seconds, and finally travels another 360m before passing the second sensor. The average speed camera calculates the car's average speed between the sensors as 27.2 m/s.
Calculate the time it took for the car to travel the last 360m. Give your answer to 3 significant figures. Include an explanation please!
