Question

HEYOO PEEPS I KINDA NEED HELP Calculate the average speed of the four team members. Each person ran 50 meters.

Answer 1

Answer:

5.10 m/s

The "m/s" means "meters per second". The value is approximate.

===============================================================

Explanation:

Recall that

distance = speed*time

which we can isolate the speed to get

speed = distance/time

You divide both sides by time and flip both sides.

So that explains why for example Nate's speed is (50 meters)/(10 seconds) = 5 m/s. The other runners are calculated the same way.

You should get the following speeds for each runner

Tray = 4.167 m/s approximately

Riley = 6.25 m/s

Sara = 5 m/s

Nate = 5 m/s

Only Tray's value is approximate since the decimal number goes on forever. I rounded to three decimal places. The other values are exact.

Once we have these four speed values, we add them up and divide by 4 to find the average speed overall of the group.

(4.167+6.25+5+5)/4 = 5.10425

The average speed of the team is roughly 5.10 m/s

Extra info (optional section)

To convert from m/s to mph, you will multiply by roughly 2.237

For example, 5 m/s turns into 5*2.237 = 11.185 mph, which is approximate.
