Megan was doing time trials on her bike around a 400m horizontal track. She took 32 seconds to travel 400m. What was her average speed
To find average speed, we divide the distance of travel (in this case, 400 metres) by the time she took, 32 seconds. Therefore: 12.5 seconds is her average speed.
Answer:
The answer is Average speed is equal to 12.5 m/sec
Explanation:
1- The average speed is the relationship between the distance traveled that a body made and the total time it took to perform it.
2- The formula that allows to calculate the average velocity is V = ΔX/ΔT where (V) is the average speed, (ΔX) is the distance traveled and (ΔT) is the time interval.
3- Knowing this we can replace the values given in the problem:
\(V = \frac{400m}{32sec} \\V = 12.5 m/sec\)
