Question

The table shows the distance traveled by an object moving at a constant speed. How far will the object go in 1 minute?

Answer 1

Answer: 510 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The table shows the distance traveled by an object moving at a constant speed.

We know that the $\text{speed}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}$

From table in 10 seconds the distance traveled = 85 meters

$\\\\\Rightarrow\text{speed}=\frac{85}{10}=8.5$ meters per second

If Time = 1 minutes

Also, 1 minute=60 seconds

Since, speed is constant , then the distance traveled in 1 min is given by :_

$\text{distance}=\text{speed}\times\text{time}\\\Rightarrow\text{distance}=8.5\times60=510\text{ meters}$

Answer 2

If the object moves 170 meters in 20 seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute. You have to multiply the 170 by 3. One minute it moves 510 meters
