Given:
Distance traveled by sprinter = 200 m
Time taken by sprinter = 20.03 seconds
To find:
The sprinter's average speed rounded to 4 sf.
Solution:
We know that,
[tex]\text{Average speed}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]
It is given that, the sprinter travels a distance of 200 m in a time of 20.03 seconds.
[tex]\text{Average speed}=\dfrac{200}{20.03}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Average speed}=9.985022466[/tex]
[tex]\text{Average speed}\approx 9.985[/tex]
Therefore, the average speed of the sprinter is 9.985 m/sec.
