Solution
Here comma space space space space space

D i s tan c e comma space straight s space equals space 9 space straight m
V e l o c i t y comma space v space equals 1.5 space km over straight h space equals fraction numerator 1.5 space cross times space 1000 space straight m over denominator 3600 space straight s end fraction space equals 5 over 12 straight m divided by straight s space
T i m e space t a k e n space t o space m o v e space a c r o s s space t h e space r o o m comma space straight t space equals space straight s over v equals fraction numerator 9 space straight m over denominator 5 divided by 12 space straight m divided by straight s end fraction equals space 21.6 space straight s
