Answer:

800 meters

Explanation;

We are given;

  • Speed as 40 m/s
  • Time as 20 seconds

We are required to determine the distance traveled

  • Speed refers to the rate of change in distance.
  • It is given by;

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Rearranging the formula;

Distance = speed × time

In this case;

Distance = 40 m/s × 20 sec

= 800 meters

Thus, the distance traveled by the car is 800 m
