Question

A football player makes a touchdown run of 100 yards in a time of 15 seconds. What was his average velocity in m/s during his run?

Answer 1

6.1 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 0.9144 m

100 yard = 91.44 m

Distance travelled = 91.44 m

Time taken = 15 s

Average velocity

=
`(Distance)/(Time)`

Putting the values of distance and time we have

velocity

=
`(91.44)/(15)`

6.1 m /s
