Question

You walk 6 meters east followed by 4 meters west in4 seconds what is your speed

Answer 1

25cm/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the required speed of a person, you can use the following formula:

Speed= Distance/Time

Here given that, the person walked 6 meters east and followed by 4 meters west that is, 10 meters (6+4) in total in a span of 4 seconds.

Now apply the formula:

Speed = 10 meters / 4 seconds.

Any calculation should be done in the same system of units. Here meters are of MTS system and seconds are of CGS system.

Now, 1 meter = 100 centimeters

So, 10 meters = 1000 centimeters

Applying the formula,

Speed= 1000 centimeters/ 4 seconds = 25 centimeters/second

Therefore, the speed is = 25 cms/sec

NOTE: Here, time 4 seconds can also be changed to MTS system.
