The baseball takes 0.8 s to travel a distance of 20 m at a speed of 25 m/s.
Explanation:
It is known that speed is the rate at which any object covers a particular distance.
So [tex]speed =\frac{\text { distance }}{\text { time }}[/tex]
Hence, it is known that speed is directly proportional to distance covered and inversely proportionate to the time taken to cover this distance.
Similarly, the time taken by any object to cover a distance is directly proportionate to the distance and inversely proportionate to the velocity of the object.
As the distance is given as 20 m and speed is given as 25 m/s, then the time can be easily obtained by finding the ratio of distance to speed.
Here,
[tex]\text { Time }=\frac{\text {distance}}{\text {speed}}=\frac{20}{25}=0.8 \mathrm{s}[/tex]
Thus, the baseball takes 0.8 s to travel a distance of 20 m at a speed of 25 m/s.
