Calculate your average speed if you run 50 meters in 10 seconds.
The average speed for a given distance and time of travel.
Answer to Problem 28A
The average speed is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A person traveling a distance of 50 m in 10 s.
Formula used:
The distance travelled by an object moving with an average speed for a given time is expressed as,
From this, the average speed can be calculated as,
Calculation Here, the the distance travelled is 50 m and time is 10 s. Thus, the average speed is given by,
Conclusion :
The average speed for a given distance and time is
