Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A cyclist travels at a speed of 15 m/s for 2 minutes. How far does he travel?
  • Step 1: Identify the speed of the cyclist, which is 15 meters per second (m/s).
  • Step 2: Identify the time the cyclist travels, which is 2 minutes.
  • Step 3: Convert the time from minutes to seconds. Since 1 minute is 60 seconds, multiply 2 by 60 to get 120 seconds.
  • Step 4: Use the formula for distance, which is Distance = speed * time.
  • Step 5: Plug in the values: Distance = 15 m/s * 120 s.
  • Step 6: Calculate the distance: 15 * 120 = 1800 meters.
  • Distance Calculation – The formula for calculating distance is based on the relationship between speed, time, and distance, where Distance = Speed × Time.
  • Unit Conversion – Understanding the need to convert time from minutes to seconds to ensure consistency in units when calculating distance.
