To calculate the distance traveled by the horse-drawn carriage, we can use the formula:

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

Given:

  • Speed (v) = 4.9 m/s
  • Time (t) = 32 s

Now, substituting the values into the formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = 4.9 , \text{m/s} \times 32 , \text{s} \]

\[ \text{Distance} = 156.8 , \text{m} \]

So, the carriage will move 156.8 m over 32 seconds. The correct response is:

156.8 m
