Question

in a race to the finish, a runner travles 240 meters in 10 seconds. At this rate, how far does the cyclist travel in 5 seconds

Answer 1

the cyclist would travel a distance of 120 meters in 5 seconds.

Explanation:

The speed of the runner can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled (240 meters) by the time taken (10 seconds).

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 240 m / 10 s

Speed = 24 m/s

Now, we can calculate how far the cyclist travels in 5 seconds using this speed.

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 24 m/s * 5 s

Distance = <<24*5=120>>120 meters

the cyclist would travel a distance of 120 meters in 5 seconds.
