Question

While waiting for his Mom to come out of the hairdresser's, Sean accidentally puts the car in gear and it begins to roll forward. How far would the vehicle travel if it moved at 34 m/s for 2.5 s?

Answer 1

The distance travelled by the car is 85 m

Explanation:

The car in this problem here is travelling by uniform motion (so, at constant velocity and constant speed). Therefore, the distance covered by the car after a time t is given by:

$d=vt$

where

d is the distance covered

v is the speed

t is the time

For the car in this problem we have

v = 34 m/s

t = 2.5 s

Substituting into the formula, we find

$d=(34)(2.5)=85 m$

So, the car has travelled for 85 m.
