Question

If you are running with a constant speed of 1.5 m/s for 1 minute and 50 seconds, how far will you travel?

A) 150 meters150meters
B) 165 meters165meters
C) 175 meters175meters
D) 200 meters200meters

Answer 1

By converting 1 minute and 50 seconds to 110 seconds and multiplying it by the constant speed of 1.5 m/s, we calculate the distance traveled as 165 meters.

So, the correct answer is B) 165 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how far you would travel running with a constant speed of 1.5 m/s for 1 minute and 50 seconds, you first have to convert the time to seconds. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, 1 minute and 50 seconds is equivalent to 60 seconds plus 50 seconds, which equals 110 seconds in total. Then you multiply the speed by the total time in seconds.

Distance = Speed \(\times\) Time

Distance = 1.5 m/s \(\times\) 110 s

Therefore, the distance traveled is:

Distance = 165 meters

So, the correct answer is B) 165 meters.
