Verified Answer :

5 minutes = 300 seconds

Distance = (speed) x (time)

             = (3.5 m/s) x (300 sec)  =  1050 m

Answer : The distance traveled by the remote controlled car is, 1050 m

Solution : Given,

Speed of car = 3.5 m/s

Time taken = 5 minutes = 300 seconds       (1 minute = 60 seconds)

Formula used :

\(Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\)

or,

\(Distance=Speed\times Times\)

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

\(Distance=(3.5m/s)\times (300s)=1050m\)

Therefore, the distance traveled by the remote controlled car is, 1050 m
