Question

A football player runs down a field with a speed of 8 m/s. How long will it take him to run 20m?

Answer 1

To find the answer for this question, you simply need to divide 20 by 8, which is the speed he is traveling.

20 / 8 = 2.5

The football player will run 20 yards in 2 1/2 seconds.
Hope that helped! =)

Answer 2

Time taken, t = 2.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the football player, v = 8 m/s

We have to find time taken by the football player to run 20 m. It can be calculated suing the formula of speed of the player i.e.

`s=(d)/(t)`

d = distance

t = time taken

`t=(d)/(s)`

`t=(20\ m)/(8\ m/s)`

t = 2.5 seconds

Hence, time taken by the football player is 2.5 seconds
