Answer:
a. Time = 3.6 seconds
b. Time = 4.4 seconds
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Distance = 180 m
Speed = 50 m/s
a. To find the time;
Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.
Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;
[tex]Speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Making time the subject of formula, we have;
[tex]Time = \frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex]Time = \frac{180}{50}[/tex]
Time = 3.6 seconds
b. Distance = 220 meters
Speed = 50 m/s
To find the time;
[tex]Time = \frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]
Substituting into the equation, we have;
[tex]Time = \frac{220}{50}[/tex]
Time = 4.4 seconds
