Question

How would you find the speed of a person who walked

10 meters in 8 seconds? Circle the letter of the correct
answer.
a. Speed = 10 meters = 8 seconds
b. Speed - 8 seconds x 10 meters
c. Speed - 8 seconds 10 meters

Answer 1

v = 1.25 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Distance covered by a person is 10 meters

Time taken by him to cover that distance is 8 seconds.

If we want to find the speed of a person, we must know distance covered by it and taken. In this case, we know both distance and time. His speed is given by :

`v=(d)/(t)\\\\v=(10\ m)/(8\ s)\\\\v=1.25\ m/s`

So, the speed of the person is 1.25 m/s.
