Question

Boston shoots a basketball from the free-throw line. If it is 5m from the basket and it takes 2 seconds to reach the basket, how fast did the ball travel? Fun fact: he missed.

Answer 1

2.5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Distance between free-throw line and basket = 5m

Time it takes basketball to reach basket = 2 seconds

Speed of the ball:

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 5 meters / 2 seconds

Speed = 2.5 m/s
