Question

Joe can pitch a baseball a distance of 48 meters in 1.5 seconds. How fast is his pitch?

A) 3.1 m/s
B) 32 m/s
C) 48 m/s
D) 72 m/s

Answer 1

B take 48 divide it by 1.5 and the answer is 32 m/s

Answer 2

B) 32 m/s

Explanation:

We need to find the speed, which is defined as the quotient between the distance traveled and the time.

`s=(d)/(t)`

Where
`d=48m` and
`t=1.5sec`.

Replacing these values, we have

`s=(48m)/(1.5sec)\\ s=32 m/s`

Therefore, the right answer is B.
