The speed of the car = 22.25 m/s

Further explanation

Given

A distance of 22.75 km

Time = 17.04 minutes

Required

The speed (in m/s)

Solution

Speed is the ratio of distance per time

Can be formulated :

v = d/t  

v= speed, m/s

d=distance=m

t=time,s

Input the value :

[tex]\tt v=\dfrac{22.75~km}{17.04~minutes}\times \dfrac{1000~m}{1~km}\times \dfrac{1~minute}{60~second}\\\\v=\boxed{\bold{22.25~m/s}}[/tex]
