300
A track star runs at an average speed of 10 m/s. It takes her this long to run 200 meters.
What is 20 seconds?
300
This is the person's instantaneous velocity at time t = 5 s.
What is -4 m/s?
300
This is 160 cm converted to feet.
(Note: 2.54 cm in 1 inch)
What is 5.25 feet?
400
The magnitude of the resultant vector from adding 4 meters North + 2 meters East
What is 4.47 meters?
400
I start at a position of 5 meters, then I walk backwards 18 meters, then walk forward 23 meters. This is my final position.
What is 10 meters?
400
This is the distance to a nearby planet if light takes 8 minutes to get there.
