Formula:
- [tex]\underline{ \boxed{ \tt speed = \frac{distance}{time} }} [/tex]
- To calculate the speed, divide the given distance (in meters) by the given time (in seconds). The quotient is the speed in m/s.
Given:
- distance = 100 m (meters)
- time = 10 s (seconds)
Solution:
- Substitute the given distance and time to the formula, then solve.
- [tex] \ \tt speed = \frac{distance}{time} \\ \tt \: \: \:\: \: = \frac{100 \: m}{10\: s} \\ \:\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \underline{ \boxed{ \blue{ \tt10 \: m/s}}} \\ [/tex]
Therefore, the speed of the object is 10 m/s.
