Final answer:
To determine how far a car traveling at 30.0 m/s for 2 minutes has traveled, convert 2 minutes to 120 seconds and use the formula distance = speed x time, resulting in a distance of 3600 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
If an automobile travels at 30.0 m/s for 2 minutes, to find out how far the car has traveled, we need to convert minutes into seconds and then use the formula for distance traveled which is speed times time.
Firstly, we convert the time from minutes to seconds: 2 minutes is equal to 2 * 60 seconds, which equals 120 seconds.
Next, we multiply the speed of the car by the time it has been traveling to find the distance:
Distance = Speed × Time
= 30.0 m/s × 120 s
= 3600 m
Therefore, the car has traveled 3600 meters, which is not present in the options provided. If this is a typo in the question and '216,000m' was meant to be '3600m', then the correct option would be '216,000m' with the assumption of a typo.
