Question

Jackson throws a football 30 meters at a speed of 15 m/s. How long was the football in the air before Laurence caught it for touchdown

Answer 1

Answer:

2s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 30m

Speed  = 15m/s

Unknown:

Time before Laurence caught it = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

    Speed  = $\frac{disance }{time}$  

 Time taken  = $\frac{distance }{speed }$   = $\frac{30}{15}$  = 2s

The time it takes is 2s

Answer 2

Given:

• 30 meters
• Speed of 15 m/s

We will solve:

Speed  = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Time taken  = $\frac{distance}{time}$ = $\frac{30m}{15m/s}$ = 2s

The time it takes is 2s
