Question

A salt march harvest mouse ran a 360 cm straight course race in 9 seconds. How fast did it learn

Answer 1

Answer: $40c m/s$  

Solution:  

Mouse ran 360 cm straight course race in 9 seconds.  

We need to find the rate or speed of mouse  

We know the speed formula is distance covered by given time.  

$Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}$  

Where,  

Distance = 360 cm  

Time = 9 seconds  

$\therefore$   speed $=\frac{360}{9}$

Speed=40 cm/s  

Mouse ran with speed 40 cm/s

Answer 2

Distance covered by by the harvest mouse= 360 cm

Or distance covered by by the harvest mouse= 360 /100= 3.60 m

Time taken to cover the above distance= 9 s

We know,

Speed= distance covered/time taken to cover that distance

Speed= 3.60/9= 0.4 m/s

Therefore, the mouse ran 0.4 m/s fast.
