Question

A baseball is thrown a distance of 60 meters. What is it’s speed if it takes 1.5 seconds to cover the distance

Answer 1

it would have a speed of 40m/s. speed is simply distance over time, so d/t. the distance is 60m and the time is 1.5 seconds. plug it into the d/t equation. then... 60/1.5 is 40. hope this helps!!

Answer 2

V = S / d = 60 m / 1.5 sec = 40 m/s

Note 40 m/s = 40 * 3.28 = 131 ft/sec

131 ft/sec = 131 ft/sec / (88 ft/sec / 60 mph) = 89 mi/hr
