Question 3 of 3: Rocky McBlock is a receiver for the Kennesaw Kilowatts in Metro Metric Football League. In this league all distances on the field are measured in meters, and Rocky always runs straight up and down the field (there is no sideways motion - only motion towards and away from the end zone). Rocky leaves the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped and runs forward for 18 meters at a speed of 9 seconds. He catches the ball and continues to run forward for 16 more meters in 12 seconds, at which point he reaches the end zone. What is his speed before he catches the ball? What is his speed after he catches the ball? What is his average speed for the whole play from the time he leaves the line of scrimmage until the time he reaches the end zone?
