Question

a snail moves at a rate of 2.0 x 10 to the negative 5th meters per second how far will a snail moving at this rate travel in 8.0 * 10 to the 3rd seconds

Answer 1

speed: 2x10^-5 m/sec

time: 8x10^3 seconds

speed rate = distance /time

distance = speed rate x time

Replacing with the values given

Distance = (2x10^-5)x(8x10^3)

Distance = 16 x10 ^-2
