Question 1191154: A jogger jogs from one end to the other of a straight track in 1.12 min and then back to the starting point in 1.53 min. What is the jogger's average speed at the following points? (Assume the track is 100 m long.) Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The points are not given
average speed is 1.488 m/sec going to the other end (100/1.12)/60; units are m/min/sec/min or m/sec.
and 1.089 m/sec coming back
The average speed for the 200 m is 200/3.65 min or 54.79 m/min or 0.913 m/sec
speed=distance/time
