Question

Kim has a 15 meter head start and has a walking rate of 1.5 meters per second. Write an equation that gives the relationship between Kim's distance from the starting line d and the the time t.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Distance, d = 15 m

Speed of Kim,v = 1.5 m/s

We need to find the equation that gives the relationship between Kim's distance from the starting line d and the time t. Speed of an object is given by :

speed = distance/time

⇒ $t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Putting all the values,

$t=\dfrac{15\ m}{1.5\ m/s}\\\\t=10\ s$

Hence, this is the required solution.
