If you could throw a snowball so that it travels at 75 centimeters a second, how long will it take to hit the target that it is 15 meters away?
15 metres is 1500 cm.
So what is 1500/75 ?
This is a silly question. The snowball would have hit the ground long before it traveled 15 m due to gravity. The speed of 75 cm/s is way too slow.
To find out how long it will take for the snowball to hit the target, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
First, let's convert the distance from meters to centimeters. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, 15 meters would be equal to 15 * 100 = 1500 centimeters.
Now, let's substitute the values into the formula:
Time = 1500 centimeters / 75 centimeters per second
Simplifying the equation, we find:
Time = 20 seconds
So, it will take 20 seconds for the snowball to hit the target.
