Measure the time it takes you to walk from your house to your bus stop or the school. If you consider that your average walking speed is 4 km h&(-1)estimate the distance of the bus stop or school from your house. |
Answer» Solution :it takes 15 minute to REACH the school. 15 minute = 15 `xx` 60 = 900 s Average WALKING speed is 4 km`h^(-1)` `= (4 xx 1000 m)/(60 xx 60 s) ` Speed `= ("Distance")/("Time")` `therefore` Distance Speed `xx` Time `= (4 xx 1000)/(60 xx 60) xx 900 m` `= 1000 m = 1km` The school is at a distance of 1 km from your house. NOTE: To convert `km h ^(-1)` into `ms ^(-1),` multiply it by `(5)/(18).` |
