A motorist travelling at 72\(kmh^{-1}\) had his eyes shut for 0.4s during a hard sneeze. Calculate the distance covered by him during this time interval.

A
50.0m
B
28.8m
C
18.0m
D
8.0m
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: D

Convert velocity from \(kmh^{-1}\) to \(ms^{-1}\), by multiplying \(\frac{1000}{3600}\), 

\(72 \times \frac{1000}{3600}\) = \(20ms^{-1}\)

Therefore, distance covered in 0.4s =  \(20 \times 0.4 = 8m\)
