A car travels at 36 km per hour. What distance does it cover in 20 seconds, in meters?
A: 100 m
B: 200 m
C: 300 m
D: 400 m

To find the distance a car travels at 36 km/h in 20 seconds, convert the speed to meters per second and apply the distance formula. Step 1: Convert 36 km/h to m/s: 36 × (1000/3600) = 36 × 5/18 = 10 m/s. Step 2: Use distance = speed × time: 10 m/s × 20 s = 200 meters. Verify: In 20 seconds, 200 meters aligns with the speed (10 m/s). Options A (100 m), C (300 m), and D (400 m) do not match the calculation. Thus, the correct answer is B.
