Question

How long will it take an object to move 100 met

if the object is traveling with an average speed
0.5 meter per second?
A. 200 sec
B.
2 sec
C.
5 sec
D. 50 sec

Answer 1

A. 200 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of an object in motion is defined as

`v=(d)/(t)`

where

d is the distance covered

t is the time taken

For the object in the problem, we know that

d = 100 m is the distance

v = 0.5 m/s is the average speed

Solving for t, we find the time taken to cover that distance:

`t=(d)/(v)=(100)/(0.5)=200 s`
