Question

7.) An archer shot an arrow at a target. The arrow traveled at 4,000 m/s and hit the target in 0.06 s. How far away was the target

Answer 1

Assuming that nothing outside of the information given in the question is factored in (wind resistance, loss of speed), it is 240 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To figure out the equation, you need to look at the information given, specifically the unit "m/s", aka meters per second. You are given the speed and the seconds, which would be an equation of: 4000=m/.06.

Step 2:

Using algebra, you can determine that you can find the speed by multiplying both sides of the equation by .06 to isolate the "m". This will give you: 4000x.06=m.
Step 3:

Now that the m is isolated and the other side has no variables, you can determine the exact meters the target was. 4000x.06= 240 meters.
