Question

You are on a ParKour course. First you climb a angled wall up 9.5 meters. They you shimmy along the edge of a 3.5 meter long wall. Lastly you traverse 15 meters of obstacles to reach the end of the course. The trip takes 43 seconds. What is your average speed?

Question 8 options:

0.65 m/s


1204 m/s


1.5 m/s


0.22 m/s

Answer 1

The average speed would be  0.65 m/s, therefore the correct option is (A).

The average speed is calculated by the formula

Average speed= (total distance/ total time)

The total distance of the trip=9.5+3.5+15=28 m

The total time of trip=43 sec

Therefore the average speed=28/43=0.65 m/s.
