A football player runs down a field with a speed of 8 m/s. How long will it take him to run 20m?
To find the answer for this question, you simply need to divide 20 by 8, which is the speed he is traveling.
20 / 8 = 2.5
The football player will run 20 yards in 2 1/2 seconds.
Hope that helped! =)
Answer:
Time taken, t = 2.5 seconds
Explanation:
It is given that,
Speed of the football player, v = 8 m/s
We have to find time taken by the football player to run 20 m. It can be calculated suing the formula of speed of the player i.e.
\(s=\dfrac{d}{t}\)
d = distance
t = time taken
\(t=\dfrac{d}{s}\)
\(t=\dfrac{20\ m}{8\ m/s}\)
t = 2.5 seconds
Hence, time taken by the football player is 2.5 seconds
