A red plastic buggy car can cover 60cm in 3 seconds. A little blue plastic buggy car can cover 240cm in 8 seconds. The two buggies are placed at the same starting line, pointed in the same direction at the same time. Find the velocity of each buggy.

ANSWER

[tex]\begin{gathered} \operatorname{Re}d=0.2m\/s \\ Blue=0.3m\/s \end{gathered}[/tex]

EXPLANATION

The velocity of a body is given by:

[tex]v=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]

where d = displacement

t = time traveled

The red plastic buggy covers 60 cm (0.6 m) in 3 seconds. Therefore, its velocity is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} v=\frac{0.6}{3} \\ v=0.2m\/s \end{gathered}[/tex]

The little blue plastic buggy covers 240 cm (2.4 m) in 8 seconds. Therefore, its velocity is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} v=\frac{2.4}{8} \\ v=0.3m\/s \end{gathered}[/tex]
