Lila is a track and field athlete. She has to complete four laps around the track, which is 400 meters. The race took her 6 minutes to complete.Which best describes her speed and velocity?A)Her speed is 4.4 m/s, and her velocity is 0 m/s. B)Her speed is 0 m/s, and her velocity is 2400 m/s.C)Her speed is 4.4 m/s, and her velocity is 4.4 m/s.
Accepted Solution
A:
The answer is A. Speed = distance / time Speed = (4*400) / (6*60) (6*60 to turn minutes to seconds) Speed = 1600 / 360 Speed = 4.44
Velocity = displacement / time since she is running in a circle, she stops where she started making he displacement 0 Velocity = 0 / 6*60 Velocity = 0
