Question

Sports: Reaction time measures how quickly a runner reacts to the starter pistol. In the 100 m
dash at the 2004 Olympic Games, Lauryn Williams had a reaction time of 0.214 second. Her total
race time, including reaction time, was 11.03 seconds. How long did it take her to run the actual
distance?

Answer 1

Answer:

10.816 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Lauryn Williams had a reaction time of 0.214 second

Her total race of 100m time was 11.03 seconds

Formula Used\Theory:

Subtracting reaction time from total time gives

Actual time to cover the distance

Total race time of Lauryn Williams was 11.03seconds

The reaction time of Lauryn Williams was 0.214 seconds

Actual time taken to run 100m = 11.03-0.214seconds

= 10.816 seconds

Conclusion: Actual time taken to run 100m by Lauryn Williams is

= 10.816 secs
