Question

An object is traveling in a straight line at a consistent velocity of 20 m/s. What's the distance the object covered within the initial 4 seconds?

Answer 1

To find the distance covered by an object traveling at a constant velocity, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Velocity} \times \text{Time}
\]

Given:
- Velocity = 20 m/s
- Time = 4 seconds

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Distance} = 20 \, \text{m/s} \times 4 \, \text{s} = 80 \, \text{m}
\]

Therefore, the object covered a distance of **80 meters** in the initial 4 seconds.
