Question

Person jogs three complete laps around a 200 m track in a total time of 11 minutes. What is the jogger's average velocity in m/s.

a. 0 m/s
b. 3.7 m/s
c. 21.4 m/s
d. 37
e. 0.91

Answer 1

The jogger's average velocity is 0.91 m/s when jogging three complete laps around a 200 m track in 11 minutes, which matches answer choice (e).

Step-by-step explanation:

If a person jogs three complete laps around a 200 m track in a total time of 11 minutes, we first need to calculate the total distance traveled and then divide it by the total time to find the average velocity. The total distance for three laps is 3 laps × 200 m/lap = 600 m. The total time in seconds is 11 minutes × 60 seconds/minute = 660 seconds.

Now we can calculate the average velocity as follows:

Average Velocity = Total Distance / Total Time = 600 m / 660 s = 0.91 m/s.

Therefore, the jogger's average velocity is 0.91 m/s, which corresponds to answer choice (e).
