Question

time

1. how much time will it take for a bug to travel 5 meters across the floor if it is traveling at 1 m/s?
2. you need to get to class, 200 meters away, and you can only walk in the hallways at about 1.5 m/s. (if you run any f youll be caught for running). how much time will it take to get to your class?
3. in a competition, an athlete threw a flying disk 139 meters through the air. while in flight, the disk traveled at an speed of 13.0 m/s. how long did the disk remain in the air?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

Use the formula \(Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}\).

Step2: Substitute values for problem 6

Given \(Distance = 5m\) and \(Speed=1m/s\). Then \(Time=\frac{5m}{1m/s}\).

Step3: Calculate for problem 6

\(Time = 5s\).

Step4: Substitute values for problem 7

Given \(Distance = 200m\) and \(Speed = 1.5m/s\). Then \(Time=\frac{200m}{1.5m/s}\).

Step5: Calculate for problem 7

\(Time=\frac{200}{1.5}\approx133.33s\).

Step6: Substitute values for problem 8

Given \(Distance = 139m\) and \(Speed=13.0m/s\). Then \(Time=\frac{139m}{13.0m/s}\).

Step7: Calculate for problem 8

\(Time=\frac{139}{13}\approx10.69s\).

Answer:

1. \(5s\)
2. \(\approx133.33s\)
3. \(\approx10.69s\)
