Question

A school bus drives north and then east through the city as it takes students to school. The bus crosses a city block every 10 seconds. If all the city blocks are the same length, what can be said about the motion of the bus?

Answer 1

The bus is moving at a constant speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following facts from the question;

- The bus crosses a city block every 10 seconds.

- all the city blocks are the same length

Since all the city block are the same length, let's say the distance is d.

Since it crosses the city block every 10 seconds, we know that;

Speed = distance/time

Thus, Speed = d/10

Thus,it is moving at this speed of d/10 all through.

Therefore we can conclude that the bus is moving at a constant speed.
