Question

Calculate the speed of a dilo that runs 65 meters in 15 seconds

Answer 1

Speed is defined as the quotient of division between the distance travelled by the object and time taken by the object to travel that distance.

Here we are provided the following information,

Distance travelled by the dilo = 65 m

Time take by dilo to travel that distance = 15 s

Therefore,

Speed of dilo = Distance travelled / time taken

Substituting the values,

Speed of dilo = 65 / 15

Simplifying,

Speed of dilo = 13 / 3

Speed of dilo = $\bold{4 \frac{1}{3}}$ m / s

Answer 2

distance=65m

time=15s

speed=distance/time

speed = 65/15= 4.334m/s
