Question

A sprinter travels a distance of 300 m in a time of 26.24 seconds.
What is the sprinter's average speed rounded to 4 sf?

Answer 1

The sprinter's average speed is 11.4329 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sprinter travels a distance = D = 300 m

Time taken by the sprinter = T = 26.24 seconds.

Average Speed = S = $\frac{D}{T}$

S = $\frac{300}{26.24}$ m/s

=>  S = 11.4329 m/s

Hence, the sprinter's average speed is 11.4329 m/s.
