If a child has legs of length 0.500m long, to calculate the maximum walking speed, use this formula: s=√gl s=walking speed, g=acceleration due to gravity that is 9.8m/s2 and l is the length of legs which is 0.500m so, s=√(9.8)(0.500) s=√4.9 s=2.21m/s so A is the correct option, her maximum walking speed is 2.21 m/s.
