Question

The table shows the distance traveled by an object moving at a constant speed. How far will the object go in 1 minute?

Seconds: 10 15 20
Meters: 85 127.5 170

Answer 1

If the object moves 170 meters in 20 seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute. You have to multiply the 170 by 3. One minute it moves 510 meters

Answer 2

Answer: 510 meters

Explanation:

Given: The table shows the distance traveled by an object moving at a constant speed.

We know that the
`\text{speed}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}}`

From table in 10 seconds the distance traveled = 85 meters

`\\\\\Rightarrow\text{speed}=(85)/(10)=8.5` meters per second

If Time = 1 minutes

Also, 1 minute=60 seconds

Since, speed is constant , then the distance traveled in 1 min is given by :_

`\text{distance}=\text{speed}*\text{time}\\\Rightarrow\text{distance}=8.5*60=510\text{ meters}`
