The speed of a race car is 100 m/s. This car is driving on a track that is 2500 m long. If the car must go

Question

around this track 6 times, what is the average time it would take for the car to do this? (1 point)

90 seconds

385 seconds

260 seconds

150 seconds

Answer 1

To find the average time it would take for the race car to complete 6 laps around a track of 2500 m, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the total distance for 6 laps: \[ \text{Total distance} = \text{Track length} \times \text{Number of laps} = 2500 , \text{m} \times 6 = 15000 , \text{m} \]

2. Using the speed of the race car, calculate the time it takes to cover this total distance. The formula to find time is: \[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{15000 , \text{m}}{100 , \text{m/s}} = 150 , \text{s} \]

Thus, the average time it would take for the car to complete 6 laps on the track is 150 seconds.

The correct answer is: 150 seconds.
