Question

It takes Vanessa 19 minutes and 10 seconds to run a 5k (5000. m).
Calculate her speed in m/s.

Answer 1

v = 4.35m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

covert the time in seconds

19 minutes x (60s/1 minute) + 10 s

= 1150s

then v = distance covered/ time elapsed

v= 5000m/1150s

= 4.348m/s or approximately

= 4.35m/s
