Given parameters:
Speed of the car = 50m/s
Time = 10s
Unknown:
Distance traveled before the car stopped = ?
We need to establish speed - time - distance relationship.
Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. It is a scalar quantity .
Mathematically;
Speed =
Distance = speed x time
Input the parameters and solve;
Distance = 50 x 10 = 500m
The car traveled 500m before it stopped.
