In 2 seconds, a ball travels 100 cm. What is the average speed of the ball?

Asked by KaterineWineberg732

Answer (3)

average speed is defined as distance traveled divided by time duration to cover the distance.
So average Speed = 100 cm / 2 seconds = 50 cm / second

**The ball travels a distance of 100cm in a span of 2 seconds, then, the speed of the ball can be calculated as:
S = (distance moved)/(total time) = 100cm/2s = 50cm/s
So the average speed of the ball is 50 centimeters per second.

The average speed of the ball is 50 centimeters per second, calculated by dividing the distance traveled (100 cm) by the time taken (2 seconds). Average speed is a scalar quantity, indicating how fast something moves without direction. Thus, the formula used is Average Speed = Distance / Time.
