A basketball is thrown 12 meters across a basketball court at a speed of 7 m/s. How long was the basketball traveling?
84 seconds
To calculate the time it takes for the basketball to travel, we can use the formula for time:
time = distance / speed
In this case, the distance is 12 meters and the speed is 7 m/s. Plugging these values into the formula:
time = 12 meters / 7 m/s
To find the solution, we divide 12 meters by 7 m/s:
time = 1.71 seconds
Therefore, the basketball was traveling for approximately 1.71 seconds.
