Answer:
Distance = 70 meters
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Speed = 90 km/h
Time = 2.8 seconds
Conversion:
90 km/h to meters per seconds = 90 * 1000/3600 = 90000/3600 = 25 m/s
To find the distance covered during this inattentive period;
Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.
Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;
[tex]Speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
Making distance the subject of formula, we have;
[tex] Distance = speed * time [/tex]
Substituting into the above formula, we have;
[tex] Distance = 25 * 2.8 [/tex]
Distance = 70 meters
