In an experiment to measure the speed of a moving ball, it is observed that the ball covers a distance of 5 meters and 20 centimeters in 4 seconds before it comes to a stop. Calculate the speed of the ball in meters per second.
Added by Andrew K.
Step 1
The distance given is 5 meters and 20 centimeters. Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, 20 centimeters is equal to 0.20 meters. Therefore, the total distance covered by the ball is 5 meters + 0.20 meters = 5.20 meters. Show more…
