If you are driving 100km/h along a straight road and you look to the side for 1.9s , how far do you travel during this inattentive period?
see other post, change 100km/hr to m/s
To determine the distance traveled during the inattentive period, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
Given that your speed is 100 km/h and the time you look to the side is 1.9 seconds, we can plug these values into the formula:
Distance = 100 km/h × 1.9 s
First, we must convert the speed from km/h to m/s because the time is given in seconds.
1 km = 1000 m, and 1 hour = 3600 s, so
100 km/h = (100 × 1000) m / (3600 s) = 27.78 m/s (approximately)
Now we can calculate the distance:
Distance = 27.78 m/s × 1.9 s
Multiply these values together:
Distance = 52.82 meters (approximately)
Therefore, during the 1.9-second inattentive period, you would travel approximately 52.82 meters along the straight road.
