Question

A person walks 16.8 m at an average velocity of 8.7 m/s. How long did it take?

Answer 1

Time taken by the person is `1.931s`.

Explanation:

Distance to be covered by person = 16.8m.
Average velocity of person = 8.7m/s.

`v = d/t`
Thus,
`:.` `t = d / v`
`:.`Time taken = `(16.8m)/(8.7m/s)` `=1.931s`. (answer).
