Question

It took 25 seconds for a horse to complete a 400 meter race. What was the speed of the horse?

Answer 1

v = 16 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 400 m

Time taken, t = 25 s

We need to find the speed of the horse. Speed is equal to distance covered divided by time taken. So,

`v=(d)/(t)\\\\v=(400\ m)/(25\ s)\\\\v=16\ m/s`

So, the speed of the horse is 16 m/s.
