A jogger takes five minutes to run a distance of three kilometres. His speed, in metres per second, is approximately A) 5.5 M/S B) 10 M/S C) 36 M/S D) 4.5 M/S

His speed, in metres per second, is approximately 10m/s. The correct option is B.

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate in which an object cover a distance in a given time. It is measured in meters per second ( m/s). From the question, the jogger covered a distance of 3Km which when converted to meter is 3000meters in a given time 5 minutes which is 300seconds. The calculation of his speed in meter per second is shown below:

Distance= 3Km to meters ( as 1000meters = 1Km). Therefore 3× 1000 = 3000m

Time= 5 minutes to seconds ( as 1 minute = 60 Seconds). Therefore 5× 60= 300.

Speed= distance/ time

= 3000/300

= 10m/s

Therefore his speed, in metres per second, is approximately 10.
