    Velocity which is a vector quantity is given by the ratio of distance covered to time taken. The speed in this case is 130 km/hr, we can convert it to m/s

    =130 * 1000/3600 = 36.11 m/s

    But, distance is given by velocity * time

    Therefore, in 0.1 sec the distance will be 0.1 s * 36.11 m/s = 3.611 m.

    Hence, when the driver looked aside for 0.1 sec, the car covered a distance of 3.611 m.
