Question

In a football game, running back is at the 10 yard line and running up the field towards the 50 yard line, and runs for 3 seconds at 8 yd/s. what is his current position (in yards)?

Answer 1

Answer: His current position is in 34 yards line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance covered by him initially = 10 yards

After that,

Time taken by him = 3 seconds

Speed = 8 yard/second

So, Distance becomes

$Speed\times time\\\\=8\times 3\\\\=24\ yards$

So, his current position would be

$10+24=34\ yards$

Hence, his current position is in 34 yards line.

Answer 2

(3s) ( 8 yd/s)
24 yd
24 yd + 10 yd = 34 yd line.
