Question

You are on a Parkour course. First you climb a angled wall up 9.5 meters. They you shimmy along the edge of a 3.5 meter long wall. Lastly you traverse 15 meters of obstacles to reach the end of the course. The trip takes 43 seconds. What is your average speed?

0.22 m/s


1204 m/s


0.65 m/s


1.5 m/s

Answer 1

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Total distance covered = (9.5m + 3.5m + 15m) = 28 meters

Time to cover the distance = 43 seconds

Average speed = (28 meters) / (43 seconds)

Average speed = 0.65 meters/second
