15
13
a. i. Who came last in the race?
ii. Explain how you could tell.
b. i. What is the formula for working out speed?
ii. What is Cal's speed during the race?

Answer 1

#a

• The player who took highest time to complete the race came last .
• Hence Shaun came last.

#b

`\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow Speed=(Distance)/(Time)`

Now in case of cal

• Distance=100m
• Time=15s

`\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow Speed=(100)/(15)`

`\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow Speed=6.6m/s`
