Question
Samantha skated behind a hockey puck that was traveling at 25 meters per second across an ice rink. Samantha moved at a steady speed for 5.0seconds. She skated 41meters in that time. What was her speed?Write your answer to the tenths place.
Solution
To find Samantha's speed, we need to use the formula for speed which is distance divided by time.
In this case, Samantha skated 41 meters in 5.0 seconds.
So, her speed would be 41 meters divided by 5.0 seconds.
41 ÷ 5.0 = 8.2
Therefore, Samantha's speed was 8.2 meters per second.
