Answer: The time taken by mother to walk is 0.005 hr
Explanation:
Speed is defined as the rate at which an object moves with respect to time.
To calculate the time taken for the given speed, we use the equation:
[tex]s=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]
where,
s = speed of the mother = 1 km/hr
d = distance traveled = 5 m = 0.005 km (Conversion factor: 1 km = 1000 m)
t = time taken by mother = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]1km/hr=\frac{0.005km}{t}\\\\t=\frac{0.005km}{1km/hr}=0.005hr[/tex]
Hence, the time taken by mother to walk is 0.005 hr
