Question

A zebra runs across a field at a constant speed of 14m/s how far does the zebra go in 8 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

112m/s

Explanation:

14x8=112 therefore meaning the zebra would run 112m/s

Answer 2

A zebra runs across a field at a constant speed of 14 m/s. The zebra would run 112 m in 8 seconds.

Explanation:

According to Kinematics, the distance travelled is given by the product of speed and time. Here, the speed given as 14 m/s, and time is 8 seconds. Now, the equation is as follows,

                     $\text {velocity} = \frac{\text {distance}(s)}{\text {time}(t)}$

The required term to find as per the question is distance, so rearranging the above equation, we get,

                     $s = v e l o c i t y \times t$

By substituting the given values, we get, how much distance the zebra can run in time period of 8 seconds as,

                     Distance, $s = 14 \times 8 = 112 m$
