Improve Speed in 400m Dash: How Fast Can Sarah Go?
Calculating Sarah's Speed
Sarah, a track athlete, is currently running the 400m dash in 50 seconds. To determine her speed over this distance, we can use the formula for speed:
Speed (v) = Distance (d) / Time (t)
Given data:
- Distance (d) = 400m
- Time (t) = 50s
Plugging in these values into the formula, we get:
v = 400m / 50s
v = 8 m/s
Therefore, Sarah's current speed over the 400m distance is 8 meters per second.
