A person walks at 2 metres per second for 8 seconds then at 1.5 metres per second for 8 seconds. What is the average speed
Added by Sofia R.
Step 1
Distance traveled in the first 8 seconds = speed x time = 2 m/s x 8 s = 16 meters Distance traveled in the next 8 seconds = speed x time = 1.5 m/s x 8 s = 12 meters Total distance traveled = 16 meters + 12 meters = 28 meters Show more…
