Respuesta :

The average speed will be 2.38×10⁶ m/sec.The average speed of an object indicates the pace at which it will traverse a distance. The metric unit of speed is the meter per second.

What is the average speed?

The total distance traveled by an object divided by the total time taken is the average speed.

The speed calculated at any particular instant of time is known as the instantaneous speed.

Given data;

Distance travelled = 4.12x10¹⁶ meter

Time period= 1.73x10¹⁰ sec

The average speed is found as

[tex]\rm V_{avg}= \frac{d}{t} \\\\\ \rm V_{avg}= \frac{4.12 \times 10^{16}}{1.73 \times 10^{10} } \\\\\ V_{avg}=2.38 \times 10^6 \ m/sec[/tex]

Hence, the average speed will be 2.38×10⁶ m/sec.
