Newton's first law of motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless an external force acts upon it. This law appears in basketball when the player is shooting the ball. When the player is holding the ball, the ball is at rest but when a player shoots the ball, they use force to throw the ball in the hoop.

A car moves at 20 m s' for 15 minutes. Calculate the distance travelled
Firdavs [7]

Explanation:

Calculating this according to the m/s rate

Now solving the question

If the car goes 20 m/s mathematically we can generate it as

15 × 60 = 600 secs

If the car goes 20 meters per every second it means

The car will go 20 meters for 900 secs

Which is 900 ×20 = 18000m/s

=18000÷1000 = 1km

Therefore the answer is 18km
