Question

 Michael ran the 200-meter dash in 20.88 seconds.Carl ran it in 21.42 seconds. How much faster did Michael run than carl?

Answer 1

V= d/t

v=velocity

d= distance

t= time

 

Michael Velocity = 200/20.88 = 9.58 meter/sec

 

Carl Velocity = 200/21.42 = 9.34 meter/sec

 

Difference in speed = 9.58 - 9.34 = 0.24 meter/sec

 

Therefore, Michael is faster by 0.24 meter/sec than Carl
