Kinematic Concepts - Mission KC6 Detailed Help

If a football player runs 40-meters in 4.45 seconds, then what is his average speed in m/s? Enter a numerical answer (no units) accurate to the second decimal place.

(Note: Numbers are randomly generated and may differ from those shown here.)


 
The average speed (vave) of an object can be determined as the ratio of the overall distance traveled (d) per time of travel (t):
 
ave. speed = distance / time
vave= d / t


 
The Minds On Physics program calculates answers accurate to many decimal places. Your answer does not need to be that precise. The program will allow you to have a 1% deviation from the right answer without being wrong. This means you should enter your answer to at least the second decimal place.
