During a hard sneeze, your eyes will shut for 0.5 s. If you are driving a car at 90 km/h
during such a sneeze, how far does the car move during that time?
To find the distance the car moves during the time your eyes are shut during a sneeze, you need to use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
First, let's convert the speed from km/h to m/s since the time is given in seconds.
1 km/h = 1000 m/3600 s
So, to convert 90 km/h to m/s, we have:
90 km/h × (1000 m/3600 s) = 25 m/s
Now, we can use the formula to find the distance:
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 25 m/s × 0.5 s
Distance = 12.5 meters
Therefore, the car moves approximately 12.5 meters during the 0.5 seconds that your eyes are shut during a sneeze.
