Given:
v = 20 m/s
t = 3 min
We can determine the time it would take to travel 25m to the west by simply using velocity to solve the time.
Formula for velocity:
v = d/t
t = d/v
Solution:
Substitute the values of v and d, to the formula for time in terms of velocity.
t = d/v
t = (25m) (20 m/s)
t = 1.25 s
Final answer:
t = 1.25 s
