= 50/3 = 16.67 meters per second

Explanation:

Answer 2

The average speed (velocity) of the football is 16.6 m/s.

Explanation:

Given : If Steve throws the football 50 meters In 3 seconds.

To find : What is the average speed (velocity) of the football ?

Solution :

The distance covered by Steve is 50 meters.

Time taken is 3 second.

We know the relationship between distance, speed and time is

`\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}`

`\text{Speed}=(50)/(3)`

`\text{Speed}=16.6\ m/s`

Therefore, The average speed (velocity) of the football is 16.6 m/s.
