Question

A car starts at a distance of 12m with a constant speed of 15m/sec. What distance does it travel for a time of 6 sec?

A) 42 meters
B) 72 meters
C) 102 meters
D) 90 meters

Answer 1

The car travels a distance of 90 meters in 6 seconds. Starting from 12 meters away, the total distance from the origin is 102 meters. Thus, the correct answer is C) 102 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the distance a car travels when it starts at a distance of 12 meters and moves with a constant speed of 15 meters per second for a time of 6 seconds. To find the distance covered, we use the formula distance = speed × time. Here, the speed is 15 m/s, and the time is 6 s.

Now calculating the distance: distance = 15 m/s × 6 s = 90 meters.

The car, which already starts 12 meters away, will travel an additional 90 meters in the given time. When considering the total distance from the starting position, it would be 12 m + 90 m = 102 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is C) 102 meters.
