Question

How far can you get away from your little brother with the squirt gun filled with paint if you can travel at 3 m/s and you have 0.25 min before he sees you?

Answer 1

s = 45 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The velocity given in the question is uniform. Hence, the formula for the uniform velocity shall be used here. The formula is given as follows:

`s = vt`

where,

s = distance traveled away from the brother = ?

v = constant speed = 3 m/s

t = time taken = (0.25 min)(60 s/1 min) = 15 s

Therefore, using these values in the formula we get:

`s = (3\ m/s)(15\ s)\\`

s = 45 m
