A ball rolls for 8 seconds and travels 24 meters. How fast was it traveling?

The speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The time period of the ball, t = 8 s

The distance the ball rolled, d = 24 m

The velocity of an object is defined as the object's displacement to the time taken. The formula for the velocity is,

v = d / t m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

v = 24 / 8

= 3 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s
