Question

A runner gets a 30.0 meter head start then runs 5.0km/hr. Write an equation which will represent the runners distance from the start line at any second

Answer 1

d = 1.4 t + 30

Explanation:

Head start means any advantage achieved or advantage gained in any race or competition.

In the context, the runner is gained a head start of 30 meter from the starting point.

It is also given that the speed with which the runner is running is 5.0 km per hour.

Therefore, the equation that gives the distance covered by the runner from his start line at any time in seconds is given by d = 1.4 t + 30.
