Question

Paloma can run the 100 meter dash in the 16 1/5 seconds Savannah's best time is 19.8 seconds how much faster is Paloma than Savannah in the 100- meter dash

Answer 1

The Paloma is 1.12 meter per seconds faster than Savannah's speed .

Explanation:

Given as :

The Distance cover by Paloma = 100 meter

The Time taken by Paloma for dash = 16
`(1)/(5)` sec

=
`(81)/(5)` sec = 16.2 sec

So, Speed =
`(\textrm Distance)/(\textrm Time)`

I.e Speed measure by Paloma =
`(100)/(16.2)`

∴ Speed measure by Paloma = 6.17 meter per seconds

The Distance cover by Savannah's = 100 meter

The Time taken by Savannah's for dash = 19.8 seconds

So, Speed =
`(\textrm Distance)/(\textrm Time)`

I.e Speed measure by Savannah's =
`(100)/(19.8)`

∴ Speed measure by Savannah's = 5.05 meter per seconds

So , The difference of speed of Paloma And speed of Savannah's = 6.17 mps - 5.05 mps = 1.12 meter per seconds

Hence The Paloma is 1.12 meter per seconds faster than Savannah's speed Answer
