Question

A football field is about 100 m long. If it takes a person 20 seconds to run its length, how fast (what speed) were they running?

Answer 1

Speed, v = 5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

The length of the football field, l = 100 m

A person takes 20 seconds to run its length.

It is required to find the speed of the person with which he should run. The distance covered divided by time taken is called its velocity.

`v=(d)/(t)\\\\v=(100\ m)/(20\ s)\\\\v=5\ m/s`

So, the speed of the person is 5 m/s.
