A girl rides her bike at 15 m/s for 20 s. How far does she travel in that time?

We are given:

Initial Velocity(u) = 15 m/s

Time interval(t) = 20s

Solving for the distance covered:

Since the girl keeps riding her bike at 15 m/s, her speed is constant and hence, acceleration of the bike is 0 m/s²

acceleration(a) = 0 m/s²

We know that:

s = ut + 1/2(at²)                [second equation of motion]

s = (15)(20) + 1/2(0)(400)  [plugging the values]

s = 150 + 0

s = 300 m

Hence, the girl covered 300 m in 20 seconds
