Problema Solution
During a 400 meter run at a track meet, the runner in lane 1 will start and finish at the same point. If it takes 58.00 seconds for her to run the race what is her velocity?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
d = 400 m the distance
t = 58 sec the time of the run
v = the velocity
v = d/t
v = 400/58
v = 6.9 m/s
The runner's velocity is 6.9 meters per second.
