Question

What total distance in meters did the object travel during the time interval of 10 s to 25 s?

Answer 1

Answer:

150 m if the velocity is 10 m/s

Explanation:

The total distance travelled by an object in uniform motion (=moving with constant velocity) is given by

$d=v\Delta t$ (1)

where

d is the distance covered

v is the velocity of the object

$\Delta t$ is the time interval elapsed

In this problem:

$\Delta t = 25 - 10 = 15 s$ is the time interval considered

Here we don't know the velocity of the object. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, we will assume its value is:

$v=10 m/s$

(however, you can use any other value instead of 10 m/s, if the velocity is different)

Substituting into  eq(1), we find the distance travelled:

$d=(10)(15)=150 m$
