To find the distance Charlie traveled from the starting point after 10 seconds of walking, we can follow these steps:
1. Identify the given information:
- Charlie's walking speed is [tex]\( 2 \)[/tex] meters per second (ms⁻¹).
- The time for which we need to calculate the distance is [tex]\( 10 \)[/tex] seconds.
2. Use the formula for distance:
The formula to calculate distance when speed and time are known is:
[tex]\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\][/tex]
3. Substitute the given values into the formula:
In this case:
[tex]\[
\text{Speed} = 2 \, \text{meters per second}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Time} = 10 \, \text{seconds}
\][/tex]
4. Perform the multiplication:
[tex]\[
\text{Distance} = 2 \, \text{meters/second} \times 10 \, \text{seconds} = 20 \, \text{meters}
\][/tex]
So, the distance that Charlie traveled from the starting point after 10 seconds of walking is [tex]\( 20 \)[/tex] meters.
