Physics:How do I solve this word problem? (10 points)

Apollo Anton from the US skated in the 1500m Short Track race in 2 minutes and 24 seconds. What was his average speed in m/sec? What did you have to convert to calculate the correct speed?

The total time is 144 seconds and the length is 1500 meters. You divide 1500 by 144 and then get an answer of 10.416666666666666667. So the answer is his average speed was 10.416666666666666667 meters per a second.

Total time is 144 secconds
Total leght is 1500.meter
144:1500=.....m/s

you STUDY extra hard..maybe..wait..no..damn!
