Question

The tires of a go-kart are 1 m in circumference. The tires revolve 15 times per second.

What is the distance the go-kart travels in 40 seconds?

Answer 1

600m

Explanation:

1m x 15rev x 40sec

Answer 2

600 meters.

Explanation:

We have been given that the tires of a go-kart are 1 meter in circumference. The tires revolve 15 times per second.

We know that the distance traveled by a circular thing equals to circumference of circle.

To find the distance traveled by go-kart, we will multiply distance traveled by cart in one second by 40.

`\text{Distance}=\text{Speed*Time}`

`\text{Distance}=\frac{\text{15 meter}}{\text{second}}* \text{40 seconds}`

`\text{Distance}=\text{15 meter}* 40`

`\text{Distance}=600\text{ meter}`

Therefore, the go-cart traveled 600 meters in 40 seconds.
