Question

April kicks a soccer ball and it travels 180 meters in 9 seconds. what is the average speed of the soccerball

Answer 1

20 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Average Speed will equal to total distance over total time. We are given our total distance equal to 180 meters and total time as 9 seconds.

Apply the formula of speed:

`\displaystyle{v=(s)/(t)}`

where v is average speed, s is total distance and t is total time. Therefore:

`\displaystyle{v=(180)/(9)}\\\\\displaystyle{v=20 \ \, \sf{m/s}}`

Hence, the average speed for a soccer ball is 20 m/s.
