Question

After lab, you decide to go out with a group of other physics students to work on problems and get some food. (You need to eat to provide energy to your brain while you study.) Your odometer on your car says you drove 8.3 km to get to the parking lot. You check your step counter and see that it is 52.1 m from your car to the front door, then you walk another 7.83 m as you get your food and drink and find an open table.

What is the total distance you traveled (in meters) from the parking lot to your table?

Explanation / Answer

Distance covered to reach the parking lot (8.3 km) is insignificant as we are asked only the distance from the parking lot to the table.

Required distance = distance from car to front door + distance from door to table

= 52.1m + 7.83m

= 59.93m (ans)
