How long would it take to walk 10m ?

AI Thread Summary
Walking 10 meters typically takes about 1 to 2 seconds, depending on an individual's walking speed, which averages around 1 to 1.5 meters per second. For 25 meters, the time increases to approximately 2.5 to 5 seconds, while walking 40 meters would take around 4 to 8 seconds. To assist with calculations, one suggested method is to walk the distance while counting a phrase, which can help estimate the time taken. A data table can be created using these time estimates and corresponding speeds. Accurate measurements can vary based on personal walking pace.

1. How long would it take to walk 10 m? (and the speed (m/s)

2. How long would it take to walk 25 m? (and the speed (m/s)

3. How long would it take to walk 40 m? (and the speed (m/s)


THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!

I'm supposed to make a data table
its asking me to walk 10 meters, 25 meters and 40 meters and calculate the time in seconds and the speed (m/s)...
I can't do it...i don't have anything to use...

Estimate a distance of 10 m and walk that distance repetitively saying "I can do it. I can do it. I can do it." and count the number of times that you say "I can do it." That's about a second each.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
