Question

A rabbit dashes across a field in a zig-zag pattern trying to outrun a fox. If the rabbit’s average is speed is 9.8 m/s it reaches the hole in 8.5 s what is the total distance it ran?

Answer 1

83.3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Applying on of the formula of velocity

V = d/t.................. Equation 1

Where V = average velocity, d = distance, t = time.

make d the subject of the equation

d = V×t................. Equation 2

Given: V = 9.8 m/s, t = 8.5 s

Substitute these values into equation 2

d = 9.8×8.5

d = 83.3 m

Hence the total distance covered by the rabbit is 83.3 m
