A car is moving with a constant speed of 15.0 m/s along a straight path. What is the distance covered by the car in 12.0 min?

Question 2 options:

1.02 * 10-3 km

1.80 * 10-1 km

8.00 * 10-5 km

1.08 * 101 km

Correct answer: D = 10,800 m = 1.08 · 10⁴ m

Explanation:

None of the answers offered are correct.

The described motion is uniform with constant speed and the formula is:

D = v · t

Given: v = 15 m/s and time t = 12 min = 12 · 60 seconds = 720 seconds

D = 15 · 720 = 10,800 m = 1.08 · 10⁴ m

D = 10,800 m = 1.08 · 10⁴ m

God is with you!
