Question

A baseball is thrown a distance of 60 meters. What is its speed if it takes 0.5 seconds tocover the distance?

Answer 1

In order to calculate the speed, we can use the formula:

`\Delta S=V\cdot t`

Where DeltaS is the distance covered, V is the speed and t is the time.

So, for DeltaS = 60 and t = 0.5, we have:

`\begin{gathered} 60=V\cdot0.5 \\ V=(60)/(0.5) \\ V=120\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}`

So the speed is 120 m/s.
