Question #37f58

Answer 1

`17.5` meters

Explanation:

When using constant velocity, we can use the equation d = vt, or
distance = velocity * time

So, since we know the time and velocity, we can plug those in to our equation to find the distance.

our velocity is `2.5` m/s
our time is `7` seconds
our distance is unknown.

this gives us `d = (2.5 m/s) * (7 s)`

When we calculate `(2.5 * 7)` we get `19.84` as our distance.

To remember this with logic, instead of formula, you can think of it as:

If i am moving at a distance of `2.5` meters for every second I walk, and want to walk for `7` seconds, I will walk `2.5` meters seven times.

So, `2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 = 2.5 * 7, or 17.5` meters.
