A downhill skier was able to move 560 meters in 25 seconds. What is the skier’s average speed? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter per second.)
Average speed is the total distance traveled by an object at a certain period of time. To calculate for the average speed we divide the total distance covered by the total time. We do as follows:
Average speed = 560 meters / 25 seconds = 22.4 m/s
