Question #cfc6c

Answer 1

Speed `xx`time (not always)

Explanation:

Distance is how far on an object travels and it is equal to the speed of the object times by the time the object takes.

`d= s xx t`

For example:
A golf cart is driven at its top speed of `27.0`km/h for `10.0` minutes. How far did the golf cart travel?
First, you convert the time to hours, because the speed is measured in hours.

`= 10/60= 0.166667hr`

`= 27.0 xx 0.166667`

`d= 4.5km`
You can use this triangle to help you find any of these three values, if you know the other two.

However this formula is not the only formula we use to find distance. It depends on what information we know. This is just the basic.
There are other formulas like,
`s= 1/2at^2`
`s= V_it+1/2at^2`

`s=`distance
`t=`time
`V_i=`initial speed
`a=`gravitational acceleration
