Earl runs 75 meters in 30 seconds
we are asked to find how many meters he runs per second
distance per unit time is also called speed
therefore we need to find the speed of Earl
If Earl runs 75 m in 30 seconds
finding speed means to find the distance he ran in 1 second
so in 30 seconds if he ran 75 m
then in 1 second he runs - 75 m/30 s = 2.5 m/s
speed of Earl is 2.5 m/s
30 s 75 m = 2 5 m / s = 2.5 m / s
Earl runs at a speed of 2.5 meters per second, calculated by dividing the distance of 75 meters by the time of 30 seconds. This shows how distance and time relate to speed. Understanding this ratio helps us grasp how fast someone is moving.
