Question

A boat is pushed from in stop and rolls 6 m in 2 s. Do you do a says the average speed of the ball is 3m/s. Student b says the average speed of the ball is 1.5m/s. Which student is correct?

A) Student A
B) Student B
C) Both are correct
D) Neither is correct

Answer 1

Student A is correct. The average speed of the boat is calculated as distance divided by time, yielding 3 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the average speed of a boat that is pushed and rolls 6 meters in 2 seconds. To find the average speed, you divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken. Using the formula average speed = distance/time, you get 6 meters / 2 seconds = 3 meters per second (m/s). Therefore, Student A is correct in stating that the average speed of the boat is 3m/s.
