If you move 100 meters in 65 seconds , what is your speed?

The speed is equal to the distance travelled divided by the time taken:


Speed = (Distance)/(Time)

All we do is use the number for distance, and the number for time from the question.

Distance = 100 meters

Time = 65 seconds.


Now lets divide the Distance by the Time, to get the speed:


Speed = (Distance)/(Time)


Speed = (100)/(65) = 1.5


The units of the speed will be: meters / seconds, or m/s for short, because we divide the distance (in meters) by the time (in seconds)


Answer:

1.5 m/s

v = (d)/(t)
V = 100m/65s

that's your answer
and it'll be in m/s

hope it helps!
