Question

You are playing frisbee golf and get a hole in one by throwing the disc 75.6 m. If the disc traveled at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How long did it take to hit the target

Answer 1

6.05 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The speed is the ratio between the distance and the time

Let

s -----> the speed in meters per second

d ----> the distance in meters

t ---> the time in seconds

`s=(d)/(t)`

In this problem we have

`s=12.5\ (m)/(sec)`

`d=75.6\ m`

substitute in the formula and solve for t

`12.5=(75.6)/(t)`

Multiply by t both sides

`12.5t=75.6`

Divide by 12.5 both sides

`t=6.05\ sec`
