The distance covered by Alex in 10 minutes is 2120 meters.

To calculate the distance covered, First, we calculate the initial speed of Alex.

⇒ Formula:

  • S = distance(d)/time(t)
  • S = d/t................ Equation 1

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • d = 960 meter
  • t = 5 munites

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • S = 960/5
  • S = 192 m/min.

⇒ If his skiing speed is increased by 20 m/min.

  • New speed(S') = 192+20 = 212 m/min.
  • New time(t') = 10 minutes

⇒ Distance covered in 10 munites is,

  • d = S't'
  • d = 212(10)
  • d = 2120 meter.

Hence, the distance covered by Alex in 10 minutes is 2120 meters.

The distance covered in ten minutes given the increase in speed is 2120 meters.

What is the meaning of Speed?

The term speed in physics is defined as the ratio of distance to time. This is the reason why the unit is speed in this case is meter per minute. We must first find the speed as follows;

  • Speed = Distance /time

Distance = 960 meters

time = 5 minutes

Speed = 960 meters/5 minutes = 192 m/min

We are told that the speed was increased by 20 m/min. Hence,

New speed = 192 m/min + 20 m/min = 212 m/min

  • Again;

Speed = distance/time

time = 10 minutes

speed = 212 m/min

distance = ?

distance = speed × time = 212 m/min × 10 minutes = 2120 meters
