Question

the diagram shows the distance a train traveled between two points on a track. (speed = distance/time)
question 1.
if the train traveled 375 meters in 25 seconds (s), what was the speed of the train in meters per second (m/s)?
a. 15 m/s
b. 375 m/s
c. 400 m/s
d. 9,375 m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the speed formula

The formula for speed is \( \text{speed} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \).

Step2: Identify distance and time

The distance traveled by the train is \( 375 \) meters, and the time taken is \( 25 \) seconds.

Step3: Calculate the speed

Substitute the values into the formula: \( \text{speed} = \frac{375}{25} \).
Simplify the division: \( \frac{375}{25} = 15 \) meters per second.

Answer:

A. 15 m/s
