Question

A racehorse is running with a speed of 20m/s along a straightway. What is the time it takes for the horse to cover 400m

Answer 1

here we have to calculate the time taken by a Racehorse to cover a distance of 400 metre

as per the question the speed of the horse is 20 m/s

hence we have speed[V] = 20 m/s

the distance covered [S]=400 m

the relation between distance,time and the speed is given as

`distance= speed *time`

`S= v*t`

`t=(S)/(v)`

=
`(400m)/(20 m/s)`

=20 second

hence the time taken by the horse is 20 second [ans]
