The silver ant at a constant speed of 50 cm/s to run from san diego to new york city it would take: 102.789 days
The formula and procedure we will use to solve this exercise is:
t = x/v
Where:
- x = distance
- t = time
- v = velocity
Information about the problem:
- v =50 cm/s
- x=2,760 mi
- t = ?
By converting the velocity units from (cm/s) to (mi/s) we have:
v =50 cm/s * 1 mile/160,900 cm
v = 3.1075 *10^-4 mi/s
Applying the time formula we have that:
t = x/v
t = 2,760 mi / 3.1075 *10^-4 mi/s
t = 8.881 *10 ^6 s
By converting the time units from (s) to (days) we have:
t = 8.881 *10 ^6 s * 1 h/3600 s * 1 day/24 h
t= 102.789 days
What is velocity?
It is a physical quantity that indicates the displacement of a mobile per unit of time, it is expressed in units of distance per time, for example (miles/h, km/h).
