A car travels 800 m at a constant velocity of 25 m/s.How many seconds did it take for the car to travel 800 m?

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to determine the time taken for a car to travel a distance of 800 meters at a constant velocity of 25 meters per second.

2. Relevant Concepts

To find the time taken, we can use the formula derived from the definition of velocity: $\text{Velocity} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$ Rearranging this formula gives us: $\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Velocity}}$

3. Analysis and Detail

We have:

• Distance = 800 m
• Velocity = 25 m/s

Substituting the values into the formula: $\text{Time} = \frac{800 \, \text{m}}{25 \, \text{m/s}}$

Calculating the time: $\text{Time} = 32 \, \text{s}$

4. Verify and Summarize

To verify, we can multiply the time by velocity to check if it equals the distance: $25 \, \text{m/s} \times 32 \, \text{s} = 800 \, \text{m}$ The calculation is correct.

Final Answer

The car took 32 seconds to travel 800 meters.
