Question

It took 25 seconds for a horse to complete a 400 meter race. What was the speed of the horse?

Answer 1

Answer:

v = 16 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 400 m

Time taken, t = 25 s

We need to find the speed of the horse. Speed is equal to distance covered divided by time taken. So,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{400\ m}{25\ s}\\\\v=16\ m/s$

So, the speed of the horse is 16 m/s.
