To find the average speed of the bat, you can use the formula for average speed, which is:
\[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Total Time}} \]
In this case:
- Total Distance = 70 feet
- Total Time = 5 seconds
Now, plug in the values:
\[ \text{Average Speed} = \frac{70 \text{ feet}}{5 \text{ seconds}} = 14 \text{ feet/second} \]
Therefore, the average speed of the bat is 14 feet/sec.
