Question

A football player makes a touchdown run of 100 yards in a time of 15 seconds. What was his average velocity in m/s during his run?

Answer 1

Answer:

6.1 m/s

Explanation:

1 yard = 0.9144 m

100 yard = 91.44 m

Distance travelled = 91.44 m

Time taken = 15 s

Average velocity

= $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Putting the values of distance and time we have

velocity

=$\frac{91.44}{15}$

6.1 m /s
