How do you find the average speed of a cyclist throughout an entire race?
total distance divided by total time
How do you calculate the average speed of a swimmer?
The same way you calculate the average speed of any object. You divide distance by time.
Which is travelling faster a cyclist who travels 400m in 20s or a skier who travels 1500m in 1 min?
Cycler's speed = 400/20 = 20 meters per second. Skier's speed = 1500/60 = 25 meters per second. The skier's average speed during his minute is 25% faster than the cyclist's average speed during his 20 seconds.
How would you find the average speed of cyclist throughout a entire race?
Total distance divided by total time
What is useful to calculate an object's average speed when it does not travel?
If it "does not travel", the speed is zero. Not much to calculate there.
How would yo find the speed of cyclist during entire race?
The actual speed can change all the time. You can calculate the average speed by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time.
How would you find the average speed of an cyclist during an entire race?
Find the distance of the race. Find the cyclist's start time. Find the cyclist's finish time. Elapsed time = Finish time - Start time. Average speed = Distance/Elapsed time.
If a cyclist takes 4 hours to travel 72 miles what is the cyclist and average speed in miles per hour?
1/18
If a cyclist takes 4 hours to travel W miles what is the cyclist and average speed in miles per hour?
W/4 mph
A cyclist travels at an average speed of 16 km how will he travel in 45 minutes?
16 km is not a speed (average or otherwise), it is a distance. It is therefore impossible to answer this question.
How would you find the average speed of a cyclist through an entire?
You measure the entire and divide that by the total.
You can calculate the average speed of an object by?
the speed
How do you find the average speed of a cyclist throughout an entire race?
total distance divided by total time
How do you calculate the average speed of a swimmer?
The same way you calculate the average speed of any object. You divide distance by time.
Is it easier to calculate speed or average speed?
I'm sure that average speed would be easier to calculate than instantaneous speed. To calculate average speed, just take the time that it takes to travel between two points, and divide that into the distance between the points.
Which is travelling faster a cyclist who travels 400m in 20s or a skier who travels 1500m in 1 min?
Cycler's speed = 400/20 = 20 meters per second. Skier's speed = 1500/60 = 25 meters per second. The skier's average speed during his minute is 25% faster than the cyclist's average speed during his 20 seconds.
Is a cyclist travels 20 km an half an hour her average speed is?
40km per hour
