Question

According to the world flying disk federation on April 8 2000 Jennifer Griffin threw a frisbee for a distance of 130m to capture the women’s record. If the frisbee was thrown horizontally with a speed of 13m/s, how long did the frisbee remain aloft?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

Time(s) = distance/speed

Answer 2

Answer:

10 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that;

Jennifer Griffin threw a frisbee for a distance (d) at 130m

with a speed of 13m/s.

how long did the frisbee remain aloft, what we are being asked to find here is the time.

Speed can be defined as the distance covered within a specific range of time. As such, it is given by the formula;

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

= $13 m/s=\frac{130m}{time(T)}$

$time (T) = \frac{130m}{13m/s}$

time (T) = 10 seconds.

Thus, it took the frisbee 10 seconds to remain aloft.
