Difficulty: EasySpeed, Velocity, and Acceleration

A factory conveyor belt transports manufactured parts a distance of 45 meters45 \text{ meters} across the production floor in exactly 15 seconds15 \text{ seconds}. What is the average speed of the conveyor belt in meters per second?

Answer: 3 m/s

Answer

The average speed of the conveyor belt is 3 m/s3 \text{ m/s}.
The average speed is correctly calculated by dividing the total distance traveled (45 meters45 \text{ meters}) by the total time taken (15 seconds15 \text{ seconds}), which equals 3 m/s3 \text{ m/s}.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the given values for distance and time.
Distance (dd) = 45 meters45 \text{ meters}, Time (tt) = 15 seconds15 \text{ seconds}.
These variables are required to calculate average speed.
2
Apply the average speed formula.
v=dt=4515v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{45}{15}.
Average speed is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the elapsed time.
3
Calculate the final speed.
v=3v = 3.
To find the numerical value of the speed in meters per second.
