Question

Starting at the origin, an object has a constant velocity of 2 m/s. How much time will it take for the object to reach a position of 6 meters?

a) 3 seconds
b) 4 seconds
c) 2.5 seconds
d) 5 seconds

Answer 1

It will take 3 seconds for an object with a constant velocity of 2 m/s to reach a position of 6 meters, according to the formula for velocity (v = d/t).

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much time it will take for an object with a constant velocity of 2 m/s to reach a position of 6 meters, we can use the formula for velocity, which is the displacement divided by the time (v = d/t). Solving for time (t), we get t = d/v.

Given:

• Displacement (d) = 6 meters
• Velocity (v) = 2 m/s

By substituting these values into the equation, we get:

t = 6 meters / 2 m/s = 3 seconds

Therefore, it will take the object 3 seconds to reach a position of 6 meters, making the correct answer (a) 3 seconds.
