Question

What is the speed of a bobsled whose distance-time graph indicates that it traveled 103m in 28s?

Answer 1

By the speed formula,

$\: \: \: \: \: speed = distance \div time$
Given,
distance= 103m
time. =28 s
$\: \: \: \: \: speed = 103 \div 28$
$\: \: \: \: \: speed = 3.6785714286$

Answer 2

Let us calculate the speed

Explanation:

Speed

• It is defined as distance traveled with respect to time .
• Its unit is m/sec .
• It is scalar quantity
• Its formula is : speed =distance /time
• Now let us calculate the speed of the given object :

Distance traveled by the object = 103m

Time taken =28sec

Speed = distance /time

Speed = 103/28=3.67m/sec
