Answer:
2.67
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed = Distance / Time

Answer:
(a) 2.67 m/sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:- Distance covered = 800 meters.
Time taken = 5 minutes
To find:- Speed of the cyclist.
Solution:-
Distance travelled is the track covered by an object.
Speed is the rate at which the object is moving.
Time is the time taken to cover that particular distance.
Distance = Speed × Time
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
Here, cyclist covered a distance of 800 meters in 5 minutes.
We know that,
1 minute = 60 seconds.
Here, distance = 800 m, and
time = 5 minutes = 5 × 60 seconds
= 300 seconds
∴ Speed = 800 ÷ 300 [∵ Speed = Distance ÷ time ]
= 2.67 m / sec.
Therefore, option (a) 2.67 m/s is correct.
