Question

If It takes Ashley 3 seconds to run from the batters box to first base at an average speed (velocity) or 6.5 meters per second, what is the distance she covers in that time?

Answer 1

So, the Distance covered by Ashley in 3 second is 19.5 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ashley takes 3 seconds to run from the batters box to first base at an average speed (velocity) or 6.5 meters per second.

So, Time = 3 s

Average Speed = 6.5 m/s

To Find:

Distance Ashley covers in time 3 s = ?

Solution:

Average Speed:

Average speed is defined as the rate of total distance covered in that time.

i.e

`\textrm{Average speed}= (Distance)/(Time)`

On substituting the given values we get

`6.5=(Distance)/(3) \\\\\therefore Distance = 6.5* 3\\\\\therefore Distance = 19.5\ meters`

So, the Distance covered by Ashley in 3 second is 19.5 meters.
