A wooden block slides down a ramp that is 6 meters long in 2 seconds.

What was the average speed of the wooden block?


A. 3 m/s


B. 8 m/s


C. 12 m/s


D. 6 m/s

Answer 1

A. 3 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is the total distance covered over total time taken.

The total distance covered is 6 meters.

The total time taken is 2 seconds.

The average speed in meters per seconds is

`Average \: \: speed = (total \: distance)/(total \: \: time)`

`Average \: \: speed = (6)/(2) = 3 {ms}^( - 1)`

Therefore the average speed is 3m/s

The correct answer is A.
