Question

a sportsman can develop a maximum of 12 m/s when he is swimming in a pool. Calculate the time interval that is required to travel a distance of 25 m.

Answer 1

Given data

*The given speed is v = 12 m/s

*The given distance is s = 25 m

The expression for the time interval that is required to travel a distance is given as

`t=(s)/(v)`

Substitute the values in the above expression as

`\begin{gathered} t=(25)/(12) \\ =2.08\text{ s} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the time interval that is required to travel a distance is t = 2.08 s
