Question
A car travels at a speed of 60 km/h for 2 hours. How far does the car travel Explain your answer using Distance, displacement, speed and velocity and distance.
Answer
The car travels 120 km.
Explanation
A strong answer should address use the equation distance travelled = speed x time 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
Misunderstanding the Distance Equation
Students often confuse the equation distance = speed x time, thinking that speed can be added to distance instead of multiplied.
To fix this, students should practice using the equation correctly by substituting values for speed and time, ensuring they multiply these values to find the correct distance.
