A regulation NBA basketball court is 94 feet long. If Wale runs the length of the court (from left to right) in 5 seconds, what is his velocity?

18.8 ft/sec Velocity is defined as distance divided by time. So take the distance Wale runs and divide by how long it takes to cover that distance to get the answer. 94 ft / 5 sec = 18.8 ft/sec If you convert the 18.8 ft/sec into mph, you'll see that Wale is running at about 12.8 mph which is a reasonable speed since the average running speed for a human is typically between 10 mph to 15 mph. So Wale is right in the middle of the pack.
