The equation for distance is [tex]d = st[/tex]. How far does a car go in 10 seconds at a speed of [tex]44 \, m/s[/tex]?

A. [tex]54 \, m[/tex]
B. [tex]44 \, m[/tex]
C. [tex]4.4 \, m[/tex]
D. [tex]440 \, m[/tex]



Answer :

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for distance, which is given by:

[tex]\[ d = s \cdot t \][/tex]

Here, [tex]\( d \)[/tex] represents the distance, [tex]\( s \)[/tex] is the speed, and [tex]\( t \)[/tex] is the time.

In this problem:
- The speed [tex]\( s \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 44 \, \text{m/s} \)[/tex].
- The time [tex]\( t \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 10 \, \text{seconds} \)[/tex].

We substitute these values into the formula:

[tex]\[ d = 44 \, \text{m/s} \cdot 10 \, \text{seconds} \][/tex]

Multiplying these values, we get:

[tex]\[ d = 440 \, \text{meters} \][/tex]

Thus, the car travels a distance of 440 meters in 10 seconds at a speed of 44 meters per second.

The correct answer is:
D. [tex]\( 440 \, \text{m} \)[/tex]
