A motorist traveling at 72km/h has his eyes shut for 0.4s during a hard sneeze.calculate the distance covered by him during this time interval
To calculate the distance covered by the motorist during the 0.4 seconds, we need to use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
Given:
Speed = 72 km/h
Time = 0.4 seconds
First, we need to convert the speed from km/h to m/s:
72 km/h = (72 × 1000) m/ (60 × 60) s = 20 m/s
Now we can calculate the distance covered:
Distance = 20 m/s × 0.4 s = 8 meters
Therefore, the motorist covers a distance of 8 meters during the 0.4-second interval.
