Question

a sportsman can develop a maximum of 12 m/s when he is swimming in a pool. Calculate the time interval that is required to travel a distance of 25 m.

Answer 1

Given data

*The given speed is v = 12 m/s

*The given distance is s = 25 m

The expression for the time interval that is required to travel a distance is given as

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

Substitute the values in the above expression as

$\begin{gathered} t=\frac{25}{12} \\ =2.08\text{ s} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the time interval that is required to travel a distance is t = 2.08 s
