Question

Lysera enjoys exploring her land on horseback with its lush green valleys and ancient forests. She can cover a great deal of ground on her horse, Princess Grey Dawn, traveling at 9 km/h. Unfortunately Lysera has allergies. How far would Lysera and Princess Gray Dawn have moved while Lysera’s eyes were shut for 0.50 s during a hard sneeze? (answer in kilometers)

Answer 1

0.00125 Km

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Speed of the horse = 9 Km/h

Duration for which the Lysera's eyes were shut = 0.50 seconds

now,

1 hour = 3600 seconds

or

1 second =
`\frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{3600}}\ textup{hours}`

Thus,

0.50 seconds =
`\frac{\textup{0.50}}{\textup{3600}}\ textup{hours}`

Also,

Distance = speed × Time

on substituting the values, we get

Distance = 9 ×
`\frac{\textup{0.50}}{\textup{3600}}`

or

Distance = 0.00125 Km
