Question

Jason races down on his ski for 3500 meters in 60 seconds. What is his average speed (velocity)?

A. 35 m/s
B. 58.33 m/s
C. 60 m/s
D. 3500 m/s

Answer 1

Jason skis down a slope for 3500 meters in 60 seconds, so his average speed is calculated using the formula speed = distance/time. Thus Jason's average speed (velocity) is 58.33 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate average speed (velocity), we need to use the formula:
Average Speed (Velocity) = Distance / Time

Given:
Distance = 3500 meters
Time = 60 seconds

By substituting the values into the formula, we have:
Average Speed (Velocity) = 3500 meters / 60 seconds = 58.33 m/s

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 58.33 m/s.
