As you walk to the grocery store you walk 800 m North, 600 m East and 200 m South at a speed of 2 m/s. What is the total time it will take you to get to the store. (1 point) Responses 800 s 800 s 600 s 600 s 400 s 400 s 200 s

1 answer

To find the total time it takes to get to the grocery store, we first calculate the total distance you walk.

  1. Walk 800 m North
  2. Walk 600 m East
  3. Walk 200 m South

Now, we can add up the distances:

  • Total distance = 800 m + 600 m + 200 m = 1600 m

Next, you are walking at a speed of 2 m/s. We can use the formula for time:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \]

Now plug in the values:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{1600 \text{ m}}{2 \text{ m/s}} = 800 \text{ s} \]

Therefore, the total time it will take you to get to the store is 800 s.
