Question

A chicken crosses a 7.50 m wide road at a constant speed of 0.367 m/s. How much time does it take to cross (in seconds)?

Answer 1

Answer;

= 20.436 seconds

Explanation;

Speed = Distance × time

Therefore;

Time = Distance/speed

Distance = 7.50 m, speed = 0.367 m/s

Time = 7.50/0.367

         = 20.436 seconds

Answer 2

Answer:

Time taken by it is 20.43 seconds.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance covered by the chicken, d = 7.5 m

Speed of the chicken, v = 0.367 m/s

We need to find the time taken to cross. Time taken by an object is given by :

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{7.5\ m}{0.367\ m/s}$

t = 20.43 s

So, the time taken by it to cross the road is 20.43 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
