Understanding Average Speed Calculation

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the average speed of a sprint over a distance of 100 meters in 98.37 seconds. It begins with an introduction to the problem, followed by a detailed explanation of the given data and the formula for average speed. The calculation is first performed in meters per second, and then converted to kilometers per hour. The video concludes with the final answer and a closing message.

What is the main objective of the problem discussed in the video?

• To calculate the average speed of a sprint.

• To find the total distance covered.

• To determine the time taken for a journey.

• To convert speed from kilometers per hour to meters per second.

What is the total distance given in the problem?

• 50 meters

• 200 meters

• 100 meters

• 150 meters

What is the formula used to calculate average speed?

• Total time multiplied by total distance

• Total distance divided by total time

• Total time divided by total distance

• Total distance multiplied by total time

In which unit is the initial average speed calculated?

• Meters per second

• Miles per hour

• Kilometers per hour

• Feet per second

What is the conversion factor from meters to kilometers?

• 1 meter = 1/10 kilometers

• 1 meter = 1/10000 kilometers

• 1 meter = 1/100 kilometers

• 1 meter = 1/1000 kilometers

How many seconds are there in one hour?

• 600 seconds

• 7200 seconds

• 1800 seconds

• 3600 seconds

What is the final average speed calculated in kilometers per hour?

• 30.00 km/h

• 50.00 km/h

• 40.00 km/h

• 36.17 km/h

Why is it necessary to convert the speed from meters per second to kilometers per hour?

• To reduce the number of calculations.

• To make the calculation easier.

• To increase the speed value.

• To match the units required by the problem statement.

What is the significance of the conversion factor 1/1000 in the calculation?

• It converts kilometers to meters.

• It converts meters to kilometers.

• It converts seconds to hours.

• It converts hours to seconds.

What should be done if the speed is initially calculated in meters per second but needs to be in kilometers per hour?

• Multiply by 60 and divide by 100

• Multiply by 100 and divide by 60

• Multiply by 1000 and divide by 3600

• Multiply by 3600 and divide by 1000
