Answer the following: You are going to race your friend to a tree near the back of the playground. The tree is 24 meters away from where you stand. It will take you 4 seconds to reach the tree. What will your average speed be?

1. 6 m/s.

2. 320 miles.

Explanation:

1. Determination of the average speed.

Total distance travelled (D) = 24 m

Total time (t) = 4 s

Average speed =.?

Average speed is simply defined:

Average speed = Total distance /total time

Average speed = 24/4

Average speed = 6 m/s

2. Determination of the distance travelled by the train.

Speed = 40 mph

Time = 8 h

Distance =?

Speed is simply defined as:

Speed = Distance /time

40 = Distance / 8

Cross multiply

Distance = 40 × 8

Distance = 320 miles

Therefore, the train travels a distance of 320 miles.
