1. A three year old boy is playing with a toy car and is pushing it .05 m/s. He decided to push the car for 2.25
forsale [732]

Answer: 11.25 cm .

Explanation:

We know that , \text{Speed}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Tme}}

So, \text{Distance= Speed }\times\text{Time}

As per given, The speed of the toy car = .05 m/s.

If he pushes the car for 2.25  seconds.

Then, the distance covered by the car =  (0.05 ) × 2.25    meters

=  0.1125 meters

Since 1 m = 100 cm

So, 0.1125 meters = 0.1125 ×  100 cm = 11.25 cm

Hence, the car will go 11.25 cm .
