Sagot :

  • Distance=6m
  • Time=2s

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Speed=\dfrac{6}{2}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\hookrightarrow Speed=3m/s[/tex]

Answer:

Given, Distance travelled(d)=6m

Time taken(t)=2sec

Speed(s)=?

We know that,

[tex] \purple {speed(s) = \frac{distance \: travelled(d)}{time \: taken(t)}} [/tex]

[tex] \purple{speed(s) = \frac{6m}{2sec} }[/tex]

[tex] \purple{speed(s) = 3 m /s}[/tex]
