Question

Sheldon, the turtle, is cruising down the road with a constant velocity of 3.3 cm/s to the east. If he continues at this velocity, how long will it take him to cover 4.0 meters?

Option 1: Sheldon will take approximately 12.12 seconds to cover the 4.0 meters at his constant velocity.

Option 2: It will take Sheldon around 1212 seconds to traverse the 4.0 meters given his constant velocity.

Option 3: Sheldon's journey of 4.0 meters will be completed in about 1.21 minutes.

Option 4: Sheldon is expected to cover the 4.0 meters in roughly 121.21 seconds.

Answer 1

Sheldon the turtle will take approximately 121.21 seconds to cover 4.0 meters at his constant velocity of 3.3 cm/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how long Sheldon the turtle will take to cover 4.0 meters at a constant velocity of 3.3 cm/s, we need to convert the distance from meters to centimeters since the velocity is given in cm/s. First, convert 4.0 meters to centimeters: 4.0 meters = 400 cm. Next, use the formula for time which is time = distance / velocity. Calculate Sheldon's time to cover 400 cm at 3.3 cm/s: time = 400 cm / 3.3 cm/s = approximately 121.21 seconds.
