Question

A car is moving at a speed of $30\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$ Find the distance covered by the car in $2\mathrm{s}$

Answer 1

Step 1:Given data

speed = $30\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}$

time $\left({\mathrm{t}}_1\right)$ = $2s$

Step 2: Solving

Definition of Speed: It is defined as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken.

Speed = $\frac{\mathrm{distance}\mathrm{covered}}{\mathrm{total}\mathrm{time}}$

Rearranging,

Distance covered = speed $\times$total time

Thus in $2\mathrm{s}$ distance covered is,

$$\begin{gathered} Dis\tan ce=30\times 2 \\ =60\mathrm{m} \end{gathered}$$

Hence,

Distance covered in 2 sec is $60m$
