Question

Richard Sherman ran the 40-meter dash in 4.56 seconds. What was his velocity in m/s? Round to two decimal points.

a) 8.77 m/s
b) 11.11 m/s
c) 6.34 m/s
d) 13.70 m/s

Answer 1

Richard Sherman's velocity in the 40-meter dash with a time of 4.56 seconds is 8.77 m/s after rounding to two decimal points, making the correct answer option (a) 8.77 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate velocity, you can use the formula velocity = distance / time. So, if Richard Sherman ran the 40-meter dash in 4.56 seconds, his velocity would be:

velocity = 40 meters / 4.56 seconds = 8.77192982456 m/s

After rounding to two decimal points, the velocity is 8.77 m/s. Therefore, the correct answer is option (a) 8.77 m/s.
