How long would it take to walk 400 meters?
The average person walks at about 5km per hour.There’s 60 minutes in an hour.So a person would take 60/5 = 12 minutes to walk 1 km.400 metres is 0.4km.0.4km * 12 minutes per km = 4.8 minutes or 4 minutes and 48 seconds.Of course this depends on the particular person and their own walking pace.
A student walks to school at the rate of 2.5 km/h and reaches 6 minutes late. The next day, he increases his speed by 2 km/h and then reaches school 10 minutes early. What is the distance of the school from his home?
Shortcut Distance = (difference in time * product of speeds)/difference in speeds In this case answer would be = (16/60) * 2.5 * 4.5 / 2 = 1.5 KM
How long would it take someone to walk 0.9 miles? Like in general about how long?
15 - 20 minutes at normal walking pace.
A boy walks a distance of 30 M in 1 minute and another 30 M in 1.5 minute. What is the average speed in metres per second?
He walked 60 meters in 2.5 min.60 meters in (60+60+30=150 Sec.) 150 Seconds.So The average speed = Distance Covered / Total Time Taken In SecondsAvg. Speed = 60 / 150Avg. Speed = 1/2.5 = 0.4 meters/second
Is it illegal to block someone's car that parked in ur assigned parking spot?
I assume that the two spaces are one in front of the other, rather than beside each other. If you have paid rent for the spaces, you have the full and complete right to the use of those spaces. If you had two cars, you would be blocking one in with the other when you parked. Seeing as someone has parked in your space, you can still park behind them. If they are blocked in. too bad so sad. The police will not remove the car from your rented property, so they also can not remove your car to let the other person out. The police are trying to avoid any problems. You may want to contact a police supervisor, and explain to them that unless the problem is handled, you will be filing a formal complaint and going to the press about their failure to protect your property Another thing you can do is take pictures of the car in your space, and file a small claims suit against the car owner for because they have taken the use of your property without compensation
How many city blocks are there in a mile, on average? Are block sizes standardized at all?
There is no standard, but in general, 96. Usually a 1 square mile portion of a big city is 8 blocks long and about 12 streets wide. That said, in most major older city's you won't find 12 residential streets in a row because city planners usually dropped in a fairly major thoroughfare every 6, 7 or 8 streets.
Would you trade 20% of your salary for a ten minute walk to work? How long is your commute now?
I’ll give the opposite perspective here. Disclosure - I work at home, software engineering / data science. If I were offered a 20% raise to go into an office every day, I would not take it. Above 30%, I probably couldn’t justify it and would do it but 20%, no way.Financial considerations aside, to wake up in the morning and walk into work 15 minutes later after having had breakfast and making tea, is pure gold. THAT is living. I love what I do. To wake up, eat breakfast, and be working immediately is priceless. When people talk about commute time, that is drive time. Add to that the prep of clothes, shower, lunch, packing laptop… it’s not just the commute, it’s another 45 min. Commute + 45 min + commute back. Think about that and add it up 5 days a week. Wow.I also have 2 additional monitors at home so my powerful laptop drives three screens and it’s SO much more productive. The big main screen in the middle while the other two on the sides have reference or reading material, etc. Think an employer will buy 2 additional monitors and a high performance laptop for me? LOL, no way, but they benefit that I work at home because I have it in my home office. And I don’t spend 2 hours getting back and forth to work so on any given day, that 2 hours goes to me or my employer. Believe it or not, it usually goes to my employer. Like I said, I love my job so eliminating my commute and relieving commuting stress goes almost directly into their pocket. If only they knew how to get this out of everybody.I don’t know how to help them but I do know that for 20% raise, no way I’m going into the office. Would have to be 30+.
Homework Question: Joe walked 4 miles north, 9 miles east, 8 miles north, and then 7 miles east. If Joe now decides to walk straight back to where he started, how far must he walk?
The answer provided by User-9597828242429937573 is great, but there are couple of omissions that make its precision unacceptable for practical purposes:1. Our planet is not spherical: its height is less than width due to its rotation. We should take it into account;2. Joe is not a point, but rather a material object. We have to make calculations probably for his geometrical center or, maybe, his center of mass. It should be discussed and decided. If agreed upon geometrical center, 1/2 of Joe's height should be added to the radius;3. Since the journey is long, the result depends on the time he starts and his speed - because of thermal expansion of the Earth's surface heated by the Sun. If Joe is walking while the surface is expanding, his trip back may be longer if the temperature is still high;4. Of course, we should consider the Earth deformation due to the Moon's gravity;5. The answer has to be expressed in closest integer number of Plank lengths. Otherwise, it would be absolutely unrealistic.Other than that, it is pretty accurate and will probably satisfy Joe. :)
