Question

an object travels along a horizontal straight path at a constant rate. the object travels 1/20 of the length of the path in 3/4 second. at that rate how many seconds does it take the object to travel the entire length of the path?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1/20 is a tiny portion of the length that needs to be traveled.  20/20 is the whole length.  If 1/20 gets traveled in 3/4 of a second, multiply 3/4 by 20 to see how long it takes to travel 20(1/20) which is equal to 1, the whole path.

20(3/4) = 15 seconds

Answer 2

The time taken for the object to travel the entire length (L) is 15 s.

The given parameters:

• Initial distance, d1 = 1/20 L
• Time of motion, t1 = 3/4 s

The time taken for the object to travel the entire length (L) is calculated as follows;

$\frac{1}{20} L = \frac{3}{4} \ s\\\\ L = ?\\\\ = \frac{L \times \frac{3}{4} \ s}{L/20} \\\\ = \frac{L \times \frac{3}{4} \ s \times 20}{L}\\\\ = 15 \ s$

Thus, the time taken for the object to travel the entire length (L) is 15 s.
