To determine the distance that Charlie travelled from the starting point after 15 seconds of walking at a steady speed, we can use the fundamental formula for distance in the context of uniform motion:
[tex]\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\][/tex]
Given:
- The speed of Charlie's walking is [tex]\(2 \, \text{meters/second}\)[/tex].
- The time Charlie walks is [tex]\(15 \, \text{seconds}\)[/tex].
Using the provided values:
[tex]\[
\text{Distance} = 2 \, \text{meters/second} \times 15 \, \text{seconds}
\][/tex]
Now, multiply the speed by the time:
[tex]\[
\text{Distance} = 2 \times 15 = 30 \, \text{meters}
\][/tex]
Therefore, the distance Charlie travelled from the starting point after 15 seconds of walking is:
[tex]\[
30 \, \text{meters}
\][/tex]
