Question

Suppose a rollerblade racer finnished a 132 meter race in 18 seconds. What is the average speed of the rollerblade racer

Answer 1

As = 7.33 [m/s]

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of the average speed, which is equal to the relationship between the distance over time.

As = x/t

where:

As = average speed [m/s]

x = distance = 132 [m]

t = time = 18 [s]

As = 132/18

As = 7.33 [m/s]
