Texting While Driving

During this challenge, we were asked to determine how far we would travel while texting LOL to a friend.

Trials

We took about 5 different times and averaged it out, and we got 1.125 seconds

Math

So, we determined that we were driving at 60 Mph, but we need to convert that to meters over seconds so that it is compatible with our trial.

60 miles          X   1609.344 Meters          X       1 Hour

      hours                    1 Mile                               3600 secs

60 miles          X   1609.344 Meters          X       1 Hour

      hours                    1 Mile                               3600 secs

After the units cancel out and we do the math we get 26.8 m/s, now we have the time and the velocity this is setting us up for the constant velocity formula.

x= vt+x initial

x=26.8(1.125)+0

x=30.15m

Answer

using this equation determines the displacement, and it tells us that we move 30.15 meters while texting LOL to a friend.
