No traces of a meteorite were found, it many scientists concluded that the culprit was a comet. Comets, which are essentially muddy ice balls, could cause such a devastation and leave no trace.

But now, 105 years later, scientists have revealed that the Tunguska devastation was indeed caused by a meteorite. A group of Ukrainian, German, and American scientists have identified its microscopic remains. Why it took them so many years makes for a fascinating tale about the limits of science and how we are pushing them.

Toy car in a science experiment covers 1.6 meters in half a second. If a the car travels at a steady speed, how far will it go i

Tanzania [10]

The answer is D. 32 m.

The simple equation that connects speed (v), time (t), and distance (d) can be expressed as:
$v= \frac{d}{t}$ ⇒ $d=v*t$

It is given:
$v = \frac{1.6m}{0.5s} = \frac{1.6m*2}{0.5s*2}= \frac{3.2m}{1s} = 3.2 m/s$
t = 10 s
d = ?

So:
$d= v*t=3.2m/s*10s = 32m$
