Answer 1

Answer:

606.06 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to get the speed of the athlete.

Speed = Distance / time

Distance = 100 meters

Time = 9.90 seconds

Speed = 100/9.9 = 10.10 m/s

We need the distance he would cover in 1 minute.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

Therefore we need distance covered in 60 seconds.

Distance = Time × speed

Substituting we have :

60 × 10.10 = 606.06 meters

In 1 minute the athlete covers 606.06 meters.
