Find the distance traveled by a baseball in 1.7 s if the baseballs average speed is 22.4 m/s

Take note that average speed can be computed using the formula


`s_(avg) = (t otal .distance . covered)/ (t otal . time . taken)` 


  Plugging in the given values, the formula becomes


`22.4m/s =(distance)/(1.7s)`


Isolating the distance, the equation turns into


`22.4 m/s * 1.7s = dista n c e`


`33.08 m= dista n c e`



Therefore, the baseball has a traveled a total distance of 33.08 meters.
