A baseball is thrown at 36 meters. what is it’s average speed if it takes 0.62 seconds to cover that distance?

The average speed of baseball to cover a distance of 36 m in 0.62 s is 58.06 m/s.

Explanation:

So the distance covered by the baseball is 36 meters. And the time taken by the baseball to cover the distance of 36 m is 0.62 s. So speed is the ratio of distance to time.

Then average speed will be equal to the magnitude of speed only if a single distance and time values are given. As in this case, the initial distance and time is considered as zero.

So when substituting in the ratio of sum of distances to sum of times, it will be similar to speed of the object. Thus, in the present case,

 average speed of baseball = speed of baseball

Hence, the average speed of baseball to cover a distance of 36 m in 0.62 s is 58.06 m/s.
