QuestionErica throws a football at $5.6 \mathrm{~m/s}$ . If it's in the air for 3 seconds, what distance did it travel?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The average speed of the football is $5.6 \mathrm{~m/s}$ . The time the ball is in the air is3 seconds3. There is no air resistance or any other external force acting on the football4. The speed of the football is constant throughout its flight

STEP 2

We can find the distance travelled by the football using the formula for distance, which is the product of speed and time.
$Distance = Speed \\times Time$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the speed and time to calculate the distance.
$Distance =5.6 \mathrm{~m/s} \\times3 \mathrm{~s}$

STEP 4

Calculate the distance the football travelled.
$Distance =.6 \mathrm{~m/s} \\times3 \mathrm{~s} =16.8 \mathrm{~m}$ The football travelled a distance of16.8 meters.
