During a hard sneeze, your eyes might shut for 0.58 s. If you are driving a car at 92 km/h during such a sneeze, how far does the car move during that time?
(92,000 m/ 3600 s)* .058 = 1.48 meters
(92,000 m/ 3600 s)* .58 = 14.8 meters
To calculate the distance the car moves during the sneeze, we need to convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per second, and then multiply it by the duration.
Let's break down the steps to find the answer:
Step 1: Convert the speed from km/h to m/s.
To convert km/h to m/s, divide the speed by 3.6, since 1 km/h is equal to 1/3.6 m/s.
92 km/h ÷ 3.6 = 25.56 m/s (rounded to two decimal places)
So, the speed of the car is approximately 25.56 m/s.
Step 2: Calculate the distance using the formula: distance = speed x time.
In this case, the time is given as 0.58 s, and we already have the speed.
Distance = 25.56 m/s × 0.58 s
Distance = 14.80 meters (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, during the 0.58 seconds when your eyes are shut due to the sneeze, the car moves approximately 14.80 meters.
