Question

f a car is traveling along a highway at a speed of 30 meters/second, what distance will it cover in one minute?

Answer 1

30meters/sec means 30 meters in one second so if there are 60 seconds in one minute we will say 60 times 30 or 30 × 60 which will make it 1800 metres or 1.8km

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance, d = 1800 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the car, v = 30 m/s

Let d is the distance that is covered by the car in 1 minute i.e. t = 60 seconds

The distance covered by the car is equal to the product of speed and time taken by it during its motion. Mathematically, it is given by :

$d=v\times t$

$d=30\ m/s\times 60\ s$

d = 1800 meters

So, the distance covered by the car in one minute is 1800 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
