Question

The world record for the men’s 10000 meters was 26 minutes 17.53 seconds held by kenenisa bekele of Ethiopia. What was his average speed throughout the race?

Answer 1

6.33 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The world record for the men’s 10000 meters was 26 minutes 17.53 seconds.

Distance = 10000 m

Time, t = 26 minutes 17.53 seconds = 1577.53 s

We need to find the average speed throughout the race. It is equal to total distance divided by total time taken.

`v=(10000\ m)/(1577.53\ s)\\\\=6.33\ m/s`

So, the average speed is 6.33 m/s.
