A horse track is a loop where the starting point and te finish line are at the same point. A horse gallops around a 400 m trak in 20 s. Calulate the velocity of the horse

Answer 1

To calculate the velocity of the horse, we can use the formula:

Velocity = Distance / Time

Since the horse is running around a 400 m track, the distance would be equal to the circumference of the track, which is 2 * (pi) * radius. In this case, the radius is half of the circumference, which is 400 m / (2 * pi).

Radius = 400 m / (2 * pi) = 63.66 m (rounded to two decimal places)

Now, we can calculate the velocity:

Velocity = Distance / Time = (2 * (pi) * radius) / time

Velocity = (2 * (pi) * 63.66 m) / 20 s

Calculating this expression:

Velocity ≈ 6.34 m/s (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the velocity of the horse is approximately 6.34 m/s.
