Question

Jackson throws a football 30 meters at a speed of 15 m/s. How long was the football in the air before Laurence caught it for touchdown

Answer 1

Given:

• 30 meters
• Speed of 15 m/s

We will solve:

Speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

Time taken =
`(distance)/(time)` =
`(30m)/(15m/s)` = 2s

The time it takes is 2s

Answer 2

2s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance = 30m

Speed = 15m/s

Unknown:

Time before Laurence caught it = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

Speed =
`(disance )/(time)`

Time taken =
`(distance )/(speed )` =
`(30)/(15)` = 2s

The time it takes is 2s
