Answer:
52.7 m
Explanation:
Given that
speed of the vehicle, v = 95 km/h
time of inattentiveness, t = 2 s
distance travelled, s = ?
Since we have the speed in km/h and the time in s, it would be best if we converted one of them to make sure we have all units in the same rank.
95 km/h = 95 * 1000/3600 m/s
95 km/h = 95000/3600 m/s
95 km/h = 26.38 m/s
Now, we use our derived speed in m/s
Speed of a moving vehicle is given by,
v = s/t, where
v = speed in m/s
s = distance travelled, in m
t = time spent, in s
if we make d the subject of formula by rearranging the equation, we have
s = v * t
distance travelled, s = 26.38 * 2
distance travelled, s = 52.7 m
therefore, during this inattentive period, 52.7 m was travelled.
