Question

a baseball is thrown a distance of 60 feet. What is it's speed if it takes 0.5 seconds to cover the distance?

Answer 1

Answer:

speed = distance/ time...

thus,speed=( 60/0.5)m/s.

=60×10/5=120m/s..(ans....)

Answer 2

Given :

Distance (D) = 60 feet

Time (T) = 0.5 seconds

To Find :

Speed of the baseball

Solution :

The distance travelled by a body in unit time is called its speed.

    Speed (S)  =  $\frac{Distance (D)}{Time (T)}$

We are required to find the speed of a baseball which takes 0.5 second to cover a distance of 60 feet.

∴ Speed of the baseball  =  $\frac{60}{0.5}$

                                         = 120 ft/sec

Therefore, the speed of the baseball is found to be 120 ft/sec.
