Given:
Velocity = 54 km/hr
Determine how many meters will the car travel in 1 second.
Formula for velocity
v = d/t
d = tv
t = d/v
v = velocity
t = time
d = distance
Solution:
Since we are asked to find the value in meters and second, we must first convert km/hr to m/s, to do so, we will use the general conversion method.
= (54 km/hr) (1000 m / 1km) ( 1 hr / 3600 seconds)
The unit km and hr cancels.
= 54000 m / 3600 seconds
= 15 m/s
Multiply 15 by 1s to determine the distance.
d = tv
d = ( 15 m/s) (1 s)
d = 15 meters
Final answer:
The distance traveled after 1 second is 15 meters.
