Question

6. A turkey runs across the highway. He is moving at a speed of 2m/s. It takes him5 seconds. What distance did the turkey run? *

Answer 1

Given,

The speed of the turkey, s=2 m/s

The time duration, t=5 s

The speed is given by the ratio of the distance traveled to the time period in which that distance is covered.

Thus

`s=(d)/(t)`

Where d is the distance.

Thus, on substituting the known values in the above equation,

`\begin{gathered} 2=(d)/(5) \\ \Rightarrow d=2*5 \\ d=10\text{ m} \end{gathered}`

Thus the distance covered by the turkey is 10 m

Thus the correct answer is option 2.
