Question

Zoey ran a total of 1000m. 20 seconds into her run she had traveled 100 meters. What was her speed at 100 meters?

Answer 1

Let's assume that Zoey ran at a constant speed. we can use the equation,
d = st
where, d = distance, s = speed, and t = time taken.

By rearranging,
s = d/t
Zoey had travelled 100 m in 20 seconds.
Hence, s = 100 m / 20 s = 5 m/s

therefore Zoey's speed at 100 m is 5 m/s
