100 meters in 9.92 seconds,
=distance/time
=100m/9.92s 
=10.0806 m/s

Answer:

Average velocity = 10.08 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Length of the track d = 100 m

Duration of the run t = 9.92 s

Solution

[tex]Velocity = \frac{Distance}{Time} \\\\Velocity = \frac{100}{9.92} \\\\Velocity = 10.08 m/s[/tex]
