Question

In a football game, running back is at the 10 yard line and running up the field towards the 50 yard line, and runs for 3 seconds at 8 yd/s. What is his current position (in yards)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution

It is given in the question that- Distance already covered by him = 10 yards. Also, he runs for 3 seconds at the speed of 8 yards per second. We know that Speed - Distance Time = Distance = Speed x Time Distance = (8 x 3) yards Distance = 24 yards. Total distance = (10 + 24) yards = 34 yards. Hence, the current position is at 34 yards.
