The Swimmer swam the 66 meters in a 33 MT pool in 40 seconds. Now we want to calculate how long it would take to swim 50 meters.
- Example: To calculate the expected time to swim 50 meters, let's base the time it took to swim 66 meters as 40 seconds.
Its average speed is: 66/40 = 1.65 meters per second
We can now use this average speed to calculate how long it would take to swim 50 meters:
Average speed = Distance / Time
Substituting the known values:
1,65 = 50 / t
Solving for t= 50/1,65
Therefore, the Swimmer would take approximately 30.30 seconds approximately (note that this calculation is based on a constant speed and does not take into account fatigue and speed variation during the race).
