Question

Rita sprints 40m to the right in 5.5s.
What was her average velocity in m/s?

Answer 1

Average velocity is 7.27m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following parameters;

Distance (d) = 40m

Time (t) = 5.5secs

Velocity =?

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

`Velocity = (distance)/(time)`

`V = (d)/(t)`

Substituting into the above equation;

`V = (40)/(5.5)`

V = 7.27m/s

Hence, Rita's average velocity is 7.27m/s.
