Question

Ashley ran across the covered 264 feet in 22 seconds. What was her speed

Answer 1

Ashley ran with a speed of 12 feet per second.

Speed is measured as the ratio of the distance travelled to the time it took to cover that distance.

Since speed simply has a magnitude and no direction, it is a scalar quantity.

The formula for the speed of an object/body is given as-

$S=\frac{d}{t}$

where, d is the distance travelled by the body/object and t is the time taken by the body/object to cover the distance

Ashley has covered a distance of 264 feet and the time taken to cover this distance is 22 seconds.

Now, Ashley’s speed can be calculated by dividing the distance of 264 feet to the time taken by Ashley cover this distance, i.e.

$\frac{264}{22} =12$

Thus, the speed with which Ashley ran was 12 feet per second.
