Given data:
Distance travelled (d)= 200.0 m
Time taken (t) = 21.7 s
To determine:
The average speed in km/hr
Calculation:
Convert distance from m to km
1000 m = 1 km
200.0 m = 1 km * 200.0 m/1000 m = 0.2 km
Convert time from sec to hours
3600 sec = 1 hour
21.7 sec = 1 hour * 21.7 sec/3600 sec = 6.027 *10^-3 hrs
Speed is defined as the amount of distance travelled per unit time
Speed = distance/time = 0.2 km/6.027*10^-3 hr
= 33.18 km/hr (or 33.2 km/hr)
