1min=60s
5min=5x60=300s
distance=speed x times 3.5x300=1,050m

Answer:

Option A - 1,050 meters

Explanation:

We have given that : Car travels at a uniform speed = 3.5 m/s

Time taken to travel = 5 minutes

To find : Distance of the car travelled

Formula used : Distance = speed × time

First we convert minute into second because speed is in seconds

1 minute = 60 seconds

5 minute = 60 × 5 seconds

5 minute = 300 seconds

Now, we put speed and time to find distance in the formula

Distance = speed × time

Distance = 3.5 m/s × 300 seconds

Distance= 1050 meters

Therefore, Option A is correct
