You can put this solution on YOUR website! A sprinter runs the 100-yd dash in 9.3 secs. At the same rate,
:
a. how long would it take the sprinter to run 100.0m?
:
Find his speed in meters/sec
Convert 100 yds to meters: 100 * .9144 = 91.44 meter
in 9.3 sec = 9.832 meters/sec
then = 10.17 sec to run 100 meters
;
:
b. What is the sprinters speed in meter per second? 9.832 m/sec (from above)
:
c. How long would it take the sprinter to run a distance of 1.45km?
:
If he could maintain this speed (which is doubtful): = 147.47 sec or 2 min 27.47 sec
