If you are driving 108 km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 3.0 s, how far do you travel during this inattentive period?
distance=velocity*time
change 108km/hr to m/s probably would make sense.
90m
To find out how far you travel during the inattentive period, you can use the formula: distance = speed × time.
Given:
Speed = 108 km/h
Time = 3.0 s
First, let's convert the speed from km/h to m/s since the time is given in seconds:
1 km/h = 1000 m/3600 s = 5/18 m/s
So, the speed in m/s is: 108 km/h × (5/18 m/s) = 30 m/s (rounded to two decimal places).
Now, you can calculate the distance traveled:
distance = speed × time
distance = 30 m/s × 3.0 s
distance = 90 meters
Therefore, during the 3.0-second period of inattentiveness, you would travel a distance of 90 meters.
