Question

The equation for distance is d=st if a car has a speed of 35 m/s how long will it take to go 100m ?

A. 65s
B. 3500s
C. 2.9s
D. 5.9s

Answer 1

Time, t = 2.9 s

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the car, s = 35 m/s

Distance covered, d = 100 m

We have to find the time taken by the car to go 100 m. Speed of an object is given by total distance divided by total time taken.

`s=(d)/(t)`

`t=(d)/(s)`

`t=(100\ m)/(35\ m/s)`

t = 2.85

or

t = 2.9 s

Hence, the time taken by the car to go 100 m is 2.9 seconds
