Question

Baseball player throws a baseball ball travels 35 m in five seconds what is the average speed of the ball

Answer 1

7

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 35 by 5 and you get 7

or do inverse operation 7 x 5 = 35

Answer 2

`\boxed{\text{7 m/s}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for average speed is

`\text{speed} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}\\\\s = (d)/(t)`

Data:

d = 35 m

t = 5 s

Calculation:

`s = \frac{\text{35 m}}{\text{5 s}} = \text{7 m/s}`

The average speed of the ball is
`\boxed{\textbf{7 m/s}}`
