Answer:

Explanation:

It's a good thing to claim this was speed and not velocity.

Givens

d = 40 meters

t = 5 seconds

V = ??

Formula

v = d/t

Solution

v = 40 m/5 sec

v = 8 m/s

If you really wanted to get picky, you should convert the distance to yards which is how distance is measured in football

1.09 yards = 1 meter

d = 40 * 1.09 = 43.74 yards.

t = 5 seconds

v = 43.74/5 = 8.749 yards / second.
