150 m

Distance is calculated using the formula distance = speed x time. Here, distance = 10 m/s x 15 s = 150 m.

Unit Conversion Confusion

Students often confuse the conversion factors between metres per second (m/s) and kilometres per hour (km/h), leading to incorrect calculations.

Remember that to convert from m/s to km/h, you multiply by 3.6, and to convert from km/h to m/s, you divide by 3.6.
