Question

A group of students is timed while sprinting 100 meters. Each student’s speed can be found by dividing 100 m by their time. Is each statement true or false? Explain your reasoning.

Speed is a function of time.
Time is a function of distance.
Speed is a function of number of students racing.
Time is a function of speed.

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

since, S= D/T the distance traveled would only be 100m, it is a consatnt variable dividing it with the time it takes to reach that distance would be its speed. Unless there is an acceleration happening in that process the speed would change depending on the situation.
