Question

What is the speed of the walking person in m/s if the person travels 1000 m in 20 minutes?

Answer 1

The speed of the walking person is approximately 0.833 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of a walking person can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken. In this case, the person travels 1000 meters in 20 minutes.

To convert minutes to seconds, we multiply by 60. So, 20 minutes is equal to 20 x 60 = 1200 seconds.

Now, we can calculate the speed using the formula:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Speed = 1000 m ÷ 1200 s

Dividing 1000 by 1200 gives us a speed of approximately 0.833 m/s.

Answer 2

speed ＝ distance ÷ time
Change 20 minutes to seconds...
20 × 60 ＝ 120 seconds, because seconds (s) is the SI unit for time.
speed ＝ 1000m/120s
＝ 8.33 m/s
