a sprinter runs the first 50 meters in 5 seconds. What will be the velocity at the end of the 5 seconds?
10 m/s
10
To determine the velocity at the end of the 5 seconds, we first need to calculate the sprinter's average velocity during that time period.
Velocity is defined as the displacement divided by the time. However, since we have information about the distance covered rather than the displacement, we can use the formula:
Velocity = Distance / Time
In this case, the distance covered is 50 meters and the time taken is 5 seconds. Plugging in these values:
Velocity = 50 meters / 5 seconds
Velocity = 10 meters per second
Therefore, the velocity at the end of the 5 seconds will be 10 meters per second.
