Question

A greyhound dog can run with a top speed of 17.6 m/s. At this rate, how long will it take to run 100 meters?

Answer 1

It will take 5.68 seconds to cover a distance of 100 meters.

Explanation:

Given that:

A greyhound dog runs with a top speed of 17.6 m/s

Distance to cover = 100 meters

We know that:

Distance = Speed * Time

Putting the values in formula

100 = 17.6 * Time

Time =
`(100)/(17.6)`

Time = 5.68 seconds

Hence,

It will take 5.68 seconds to cover a distance of 100 meters.
