Question

What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance time graph indicates that it traveled 225 m in 30 s?

Answer 1

Given:

The distance traveled is d = 225 m

The time taken is t = 30 s

To find the speed.

Explanation:

The speed can be calculated by the formula

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

On substituting the values, the speed will be

$\begin{gathered} v=\frac{225}{30} \\ =7.5\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

Thus, the speed is 7.5 m/s.
