Question

conducting a walking experiment, you walked 10 m in 5.7 s. what is your walking speed
add your answer
integer, decimal, or e notation allowed

Explanation:

Step1: Recall speed formula

The formula for speed \( v \) is \( v=\frac{d}{t} \), where \( d \) is distance and \( t \) is time.

Step2: Substitute values

Given \( d = 10\space m \) and \( t = 5.7\space s \), substitute into the formula: \( v=\frac{10}{5.7} \)

Step3: Calculate the value

\( \frac{10}{5.7}\approx1.754\space m/s \) (rounded to three decimal places, or as needed)

Answer:

\( \approx1.75\space m/s \) (or more precisely \( \approx1.754\space m/s \))
