Question

Andre runs for 35 seconds at a velocity of -8 meters per second. He is running west. What is his finishing position?

Answer 1

d = -280 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of Andre, v = -8 m/s

Time taken, t = 35 seconds

We need to find his finishing position. Let the finishing position be x.

We know that,

Velocity = distance/time

So,

`d=v* t\\\\d=-8* 35\\\\=-280\ m`

so, he was at a distance of 280 m in west.
