A runner circles the track exactly 2 times for distance of 800m. it takes 4.0min. what is her average speed in m/s? what is her average velocity?

Respuesta :

Calculation of average speed:

we are given

A runner circles the track exactly 2 times for distance of 800m

so, distance is

d=800m

it takes 4.0min

so, t=4min

we know that

1min =60 sec

we can change time into seconds

[tex]t=4*60sec=240sec[/tex]

now, we can use speed formula

[tex]s=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

now, we can plug it

and we get

[tex]s=\frac{800}{240}m/sec[/tex]

[tex]s=3.3m/sec[/tex]............Answer

Calculation of average velocity:

we are given

A runner circles the track exactly 2 times for distance of 800m

so,

displacement =400-400=0m

it takes 4.0min

so, t=4min

we know that

1min =60 sec

we can change time into seconds

[tex]t=4*60sec=240sec[/tex]

now, we can use speed formula

[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

now, we can plug it

and we get

[tex]v=\frac{0}{240}m/sec[/tex]

[tex]v=0m/sec[/tex]............Answer
