Question

How long will it take a ball to roll 10 meters along the floor at a speed of 0.5 m/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

20 seconds.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Distance = 10 m

Speed = 0.5 m/s

Time =...?

The speed of an object is simply defined as the distance travelled by the object per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance /time

With the above formula, we can obtain the time taken for the ball to travel a distance of 10 m as shown below:

Distance = 10 m

Speed = 0.5 m/s

Time =...?

Speed = Distance /time

0.5 = 10/time

Cross multiply

0.5 × time = 10

Divide both side by 0.5

Time = 10/0.5

Time = 20 secs.

Therefore, it will take 20 seconds for the ball to travel a distance of 10 m.
