Question

You are playing frisbee golf and get a hole in one by throwing the disc 75.6 m. If the disc traveled at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How long did it take to hit the target

Answer 1

Answer:

6.05 seconds

Explanation:

we know that

The speed is the ratio between the distance and the time

Let

s -----> the speed in meters per second

d ----> the distance in meters

t ---> the time in seconds

$s=\frac{d}{t}$

In this problem we have

$s=12.5\ \frac{m}{sec}$

$d=75.6\ m$

substitute in the formula and solve for t

$12.5=\frac{75.6}{t}$

Multiply by t both sides

$12.5t=75.6$

Divide by 12.5 both sides

$t=6.05\ sec$
