The posted speed limit on the road heading from your house to school is45 mi/h, which is about 20 m/s. If you live 8 km (8,000 m) from school, how long will it take you to get to school if there is no traffic? Convert your answer to minutes.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

6.67 min

Explanation:

Distance = speed × time

8000 m = 20 m/s × t

t = 400 s

Convert to minutes:

400 s × (1 min / 60 s) = 6.67 min

Speed is the rate of distance over time.

It will take 6.67 minutes to get to school

The given parameters are:

[tex]s = 20ms^{-1}[/tex] ---the speed limit

[tex]d = 8000m[/tex] -- the distance from school

The relationship between speed, distance and time (t) is:

[tex]s = \frac dt[/tex]

Make t the subject

[tex]t = \frac ds[/tex]

Substitute values for d and s

[tex]t = \frac {8000}{20}[/tex]

[tex]t = 400s[/tex]

Convert to minutes

[tex]t = \frac{400}{60}min[/tex]

[tex]t = 6.67\ min[/tex]

Hence, it will take 6.67 minutes to get to school
