Question

10. A jogger runs along a road for a distance of 2700 m. If it takes her 900 seconds

to run that distance, what is her speed?

Answer 1

Speed = 3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 2700m

Time = 900 s

To find the speed;

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

`Speed = (distance)/(time)`

Substituting into the equation, we have;

`Speed = (2700)/(900)`

Speed = 3 m/s
