Question

Calculate the distance traveled if you maintained an average speed of 1.5m/s for 40 seconds. (Rearrange the equation for average speed to solve.)

Answer 1

The distance traveled is 60 meter

Solution:

Given that,

Average speed = 1.5 m/s

Time taken = 40 seconds

To find: distance traveled

The formula for speed is given as:

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

Rearrange the formula for distance

$distance = speed \times time$

Substituting the given values, we get

$distance = 1.5 \frac{meter}{second} \times 40 \text{ seconds }\\\\distance = 1.5 \times 40 \text{ meter }\\\\distance = 60 \text{ meter }$

Thus distance traveled is 60 meter
