Question

The speed of an object can be found by taking the distance it travels and dividing it by the time it takes to travel that distance. An object travels 100 feet in 2.5 seconds let the speed, S, be measured in feet per second. True or false: the equation

Answer 1

True the speed S in in Feet/second

Explanation:

In this problem we are required to solve for the speed of an object.

given that the expression to solve for the speed is expressed as

speed= distance/time

given data

distance=100 feet

time=2.5 seconds

substituting our given data into the expression we can solve for speed as

speed (S)=100/2.5

S= 40feet/seconds

upon substituting our data the speed S was found to be 40feet/s

True the speed S in in Feet/second
