The Belmont Stakes, the third horse race for the Triple Crown, was won on
June 10,1989 by Easy Goer with a time of 2 min 26.0 s. Only Secretariat in 1973
was able to run the Belmont Stakes in a faster time. If the race covers 2414 m,
what was Easy Goer's average speed in m/s?

The average speed is 16.5 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed can be calculated as the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:

[tex]s=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time taken

The horse in this problem covered a distance of

d = 2414 m

While the time taken is

t = 2 min 26 s

Since 1 min = 60 s, the time converted into seconds is

[tex]t=(2\cdot 60)+26=146 s[/tex]

And therefore, the average speed is

[tex]s=\frac{2414}{146}=16.5 m/s[/tex]
