Question

Joe can pitch a baseball a distance of 48 meters in 1.5 seconds. How fast is his pitch?
A) 3.1 m/s
B) 32 m/s
C) 48 m/s
D) 72 m/s

Answer 1

B take 48 divide it by 1.5 and the answer is 32 m/s

Answer 2

Answer:

B) 32 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the speed, which is defined as the quotient between the distance traveled and the time.

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

Where $d=48m$ and $t=1.5sec$.

Replacing these values, we have

$s=\frac{48m}{1.5sec}\\ s=32 m/s$

Therefore, the right answer is B.
