Question

Kim has a 15 meter head start and has a walking rate of 1.5 meters per second. Write an equation that gives the relationship between Kim's distance from the starting line d and the the time t.

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is given that,

Distance, d = 15 m

Speed of Kim,v = 1.5 m/s

We need to find the equation that gives the relationship between Kim's distance from the starting line d and the time t. Speed of an object is given by :

speed = distance/time

⇒
`t=(d)/(v)`

Putting all the values,

`t=(15\ m)/(1.5\ m/s)\\\\t=10\ s`

Hence, this is the required solution.
