Answer to Question #133375 in General Chemistry for Angelo Cimmarrusti

Question

Imagine you’re at track practice and want to determine the speed that you can jog at. If you can jog 200 m (half a loop around the track) in 56.44 seconds, then how fast are you jogging?

Answer 1

From the formula,

$Speed=$ $Distance\over time$

The unit rate of $200m$ in every $56.44s$

$=$ $200m\over 54.44s$ $=3.544m/s$

So I will be running at $3.544$ $m\over s$
