An object is moving at the rate of 10 m/s. It continues to move at that rate for 5
seconds. How far did the object move?



Answer :

To determine how far the object moved, we can use the formula for distance in the context of constant speed:

[tex]\[ \text{distance} = \text{speed} \times \text{time} \][/tex]

Given:
- Speed ([tex]\( v \)[/tex]) = 10 meters per second (m/s)
- Time ([tex]\( t \)[/tex]) = 5 seconds (s)

Now, substituting the given values into the formula:

[tex]\[ \text{distance} = 10 \, \text{m/s} \times 5 \, \text{s} \][/tex]

Perform the multiplication:

[tex]\[ \text{distance} = 50 \, \text{meters} \][/tex]

Therefore, the object moved a distance of 50 meters.
