Question

Calculate the average speed of a lion that runs 45 m in 5 seconds​

Answer 1

`\sf9ms ^( - 1)`

Explanation:

`\sf \: Average \: speed = ( Total \: distance )/(Total \: Time)`

Let us find the average speed now.

`\sf \: Average \: speed = ( Total \: distance )/(Total \: Time) \\ \sf \: Average \: speed = ( 45m )/(5s) \\ \sf \: Average \: speed = 9ms ^( - 1)`

Answer 2

9 m /s

Explanation:

To find the speed, take the distance and divide by the time

45 m/ 5 s

9 m /s
