Question
A car travels a distance of 150 meters at a speed of 30 meters per second. Calculate the time taken for the journey Explain your answer using Distance, displacement, speed and velocity and distance.
Answer
5 seconds
Explanation
A strong answer should address calculate time from distance and speed directly. Use the context of Distance, displacement, speed and velocity within Forces and motion, then state the relevant forces or motion reasoning with units where needed. The answer is correct when it names the key physics quantity, keeps distance and displacement distinct, and links the conclusion back to the approved learning objective.
Common mistake
Common Mistake in Time Calculation
Students often confuse the formula for calculating time, using distance divided by speed instead of speed divided by distance.
Remind students that the correct formula is time = distance / speed. Encourage them to practice rearranging the formula and using it correctly in different contexts.
