Question

Measure the time it takes you to walk from your house to school. If you consider your walking speed km/hr. find the distance between your house and school.

Answer 1

Step 1: Given Data

1. The walking speed of a person is 3 km/hr.
2. the motion that occurred is from house to school.

Step 2: Calculating distance between house and school

1. We know that speed is the rate of change of distance with time. speed=distance/ time
2. We can calculate the distance covered by a person by multiplying the speed and time.
3. If the person takes 2 hours to go from house to school, the distance from house to school will be $3\times 2=6$ kms

Hence, the distance between house and school will be equal to the multiplication of speed and time.
