In a game of hockey the hockey puck took 0.8 seconds to travel 89 feet to the goal line. determine the average speed of the puck per second

The average speed of the puck = 33.91 m/s

Explanation:

Speed: This is the ratio of distance to time. The S.I unit of speed is m/s.

mathematically speed is expressed as,

S = d/t Equation 1

Where s = average speed of the puck, d = distance, t = time.

Conversion: If  1 foot = 0.3048 m

               then,   89 feet = 0.3048×89

          = 27.13 m.

Given: d = 89 feet = 27.13 m, t = 0.8 seconds.

Substituting these values into equation 1

S = 27.13/0.8

S = 33.91 m/s

Therefore the average speed of the puck = 33.91 m/s
