This is a uniform rectilinear motion (MRU) exercise.

To start solving this exercise, we obtain the following data:

DATA:

  • V = 3.8 m/s
  • D = ¿?
  • T = 15 sec

To calculate the distance, multiply the speed by the time.

We apply the following formula: d = v * t

We clear our data in the formula:


\bf{d=3.8\frac{m}{\\ot{s}}*15 \\ot{s} }


\bf{d=57 \ m}

The baseball in 15 seconds will roll a distance of 57 meters.
