A person jogs a complete labs are on the 400 m track in a total time of 14.1 minutes

Question

Calculate the average speed in meters per second

Answer 1

To obtain a speed in meters per second, you will first need to convert 14.1 minutes to seconds.

Multiplying (14.1 minutes) * (60 seconds / minute), we get t = 846 seconds.

Average speed is equal to distance traveled divided by time taken. If the person completed one lap, then the distance traveled equals 400 m. To find speed, divide 400 m by 846 s.
