Question

If it takes you 0.25 seconds to go 14.75 m, what is your speed?

Answer 1

Use the speed formula to find the answer. Remember that if a distance d is traveled during a time interval t, then the speed s is given by:

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

Substitute d=14.75m and t=0.25s:

$s=\frac{14.75m}{0.25s}=59\frac{m}{s}$

Therefore, your speed is:

$59\frac{m}{s}$
