Answer:
a) 200 meters = 3.125 meters/seconds
b) 400 meters = 2.649 meters per second
c ) 1000 meters = 2.320 meters per second
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for Average speed = Distance/ Time
Monica swims the 200, 400, and 1,000 meter freestyle swimming events.
We are to calculate: average speeds in all these events (meters/second).
At the last swimming meet she swam
For the 200m
Time 1 minute 4 seconds
60 seconds = 1 minutes
Hence, Time = 60 + 4 = 64 seconds.
Average speed = 200m/64 seconds
= 3.125 meters/seconds
For 400m
Time = 2 minutes 31 seconds
1 minute = 60 seconds
2 minutes = 60 × 2 = 120 seconds
Total time = 120 + 31 seconds = 151 seconds
Hence, Speed = 400m/151 seconds
= 2.649 meters per second
For 1,000 meter
Total time = 7 minutes 11 seconds.
1 minute = 60 seconds
7 minutes = 60 × 7 = 420 seconds
Total time = 420 + 11 seconds = 431 seconds
Hence, Speed = 1000m/431 seconds
= 2.3201856148 meters per second
Approximately = 2.320 meters per second
Therefore her speed were
a) 200 meters = 3.125 meters/seconds
b) 400 meters = 2.649 meters per second
c ) 1000 meters = 2.320 meters per second
Answer:
3.125m/s
2.469 m/s
2.320 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Average speed = total distance / total time
60 seconds = 1 minute
Converting minute into second = (1 x 60) + 4 = 64 seconds
(2 x 60) + 31 = 151 seconds
(7 x 60) + 11 = 431 seconds
Average speed = 200 meters / 64 seconds = 3.125m/s
Average speed = 400 meters / 151 seconds = 2.469 m/s
Average speed = 1000 meters / 431 seconds = 2.320 m/s
