Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge set a new world record for men of 2:01:39 on September 16, 2018. Assign his average speed in km/h to the variable marathon. The marathon distance is 42.195 kilometers? How to Calculate ?

Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge set a new world record for men of 2:01:39 on September 16, 2018. Assign his average speed in km/h to the variable marathon. The marathon distance is 42.195 kilometers.

[Amol Shahane]

Time_2nd=(2*60*60)+(01*60)+39;
Distance_2nd=42.195*1000;
marathon=(Distance_2nd*18)/(Time_2nd*5)

[Puru Bhatia]

distance2=42.195;
time2= 2+(1/60)+(39/3600);
marathon=distance2/time2

Answer 1

[Sairam Vamsi Tadikamalla]

distance2=42.195*1000; 
time2=(2*60*60)+(01*60)+39;
marathon=distance2*18/(time2*5);
disp(marathon);

Why are you converting to degrees Farhenheit ?

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

Speed is number of kilometers travelled divided by number of hours spent travelling. But you would have known that from the definition of speed, and that is not a MATLAB question.

[AHMED ELKAFAFY]

but we found this question in a course "introduction to programming with MATLAB" and we did not understand this question

[AHMED ELKAFAFY]

now i understand this question

this man run 42.195 kilometers in 2 hours and 1 minite and 39 sec

so it is very simple

[Khom Raj Thapa Magar]

Yes you're right

Answer 3

[Muhammad Faizan Naveed]

Question 1
Track_distance_in_km=100./1000; 
Time_in_h=9.58./3600; 
hundred=Track_distance_in_km./Time_in_h
Question 2
Time_2nd_question=(2.*60.*60)+(01.*60)+39;
Distance_2nd=42.195.*1000;
marathon=(Distance_2nd.*18)./(Time_2nd_question.*5);

Why are you converting to degrees Farhenheit ?

Answer 4

[vmnf kfnk]

y=0.1/9.58;
hundred=y*3600
x=42.195/((121*60)+39);
marathon=x*3600

Answer 5

[Khom Raj Thapa Magar]

distance_in_km = 100./1000;
time_in_h = 9.58 / (60. * 60);
hundred = distance_in_km / time_in_h;
disp(hundred);

Time_2nd_question=(2.*60.*60)+(01.*60)+39;
Distance_2nd=42.195.*1000;
marathon=(Distance_2nd.*18)./(Time_2nd_question.*5);
disp(marathon);
