Question

The tires of a go-kart are 1 m1 \text{ m}1 m1, start text, space, m, end text in circumference. The tires revolve 15151515 times per second. What is the distance the go-kart travels in 40404040 seconds?

Answer 1

600m

Explanation:

Distance traveled = speed*time taken

The total distance traveled around the tires is the circumference.

If the tire of a go-kart with circumference of 1m revolves 15 times per second, the speed of the go-kart will be 1*15 = 15m/s

Given the time taken by the go-kart to travel round to be 40 seconds;

Distance traveled by the go-kart = 15*40 = 600m
