A car is moving with a constant speed of 20. meters
per second. What total distance does the car travel
in 2.0 minutes?
(1) 10. m (3) 1200 m
(2) 40. m (4) 2400 m
So the question is what is the total distance travelled by a car that is moving with constant speed of v=20m/s in t=2 mins. First, lets convert t=2 mins to t= 120s. Since v=s/t, to get the distance wee need to get s. To do that we need to multiply both sides of the equation with t so: s=v*t. Now we input our numbers and get s=(20m/s)*(120s)=2400m. So the correct answer is (4) 2400m.
