Answer:
Explanation:
It's a good thing to claim this was speed and not velocity.
Givens
d = 40 meters
t = 5 seconds
V = ??
Formula
v = d/t
Solution
v = 40 m/5 sec
v = 8 m/s
If you really wanted to get picky, you should convert the distance to yards which is how distance is measured in football
1.09 yards = 1 meter
d = 40 * 1.09 = 43.74 yards.
t = 5 seconds
v = 43.74/5 = 8.749 yards / second.
