Question

You want to put a new CD in your car stereo.While driving at 45 mi/h,you look away for 2.0s.What distance (in miles) do you drive blind.

Answer 1

v = speed of car = 45 mi/h

we know that :

1 h = 60 min and 1 min = 60 s

t = time taken for drive blind = 2.0 s = (2.0 s) (1 min/60 sec) (1 h /60 min)

t = ((2.0 x 1 x 1)/(60 x 60)) hour

t = 0.00056 hour

d = distance traveled while driving blind

distance traveled while driving blind is given as

d = v t

inserting the values

d = (45 mi/h) (0.00056 h)

d = 0.0252 miles
