Question

It takes a baseball about 5 seconds to come down from up in the air after a player hits a homeroom. Suppose that the ball drops down at a rate of 6 feet per second during time. What integer represents the distance traveled by the ball during this time?

Answer 1

`Distance = 30\ ft`

Explanation:

Given

`Time = 5\ secs`

`Speed = 6ft/sec`

Required

Determine the distance traveled

Distance is calculated from speed formula as thus:

`Speed = (Distance)/(Time)`

Substitute values for Speed and Time

`6 = (Distance)/(5)`

Make Distance the subject

`Distance = 5 * 6`

`Distance = 30\ ft`

Hence, the distance traveled is 30ft
