Question

1. A Garuda bus travels at a speed of 80 km/hour. How far will it travel in 8 hours?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since in the question you specifically mentioned “velocity” and not “speed” the answer will vary.

As

[math]velocity = displacement / time[/math]

We can safely say that the bus will be displaced by 2 KMs i.e [math]80/60 * 1.5[/math]

Hence the distance traveled by the bus will be at least 2 KMs.

Also if we are told that bus travelled along a straight line and did not take any turn, we can conclude saying distance traveled by the train is same as displacement and that is 2 KMs.

Explanation:

Distance = average speed * time

or Displacement = Average velocity * time

i.e. Distance = 80 Km/h * 1.5 minutes

but 60 minutes = 1 hour, 1.5 minutes = 0.025h

therefore, distance = 80 Km/h * 0.025h = 2 Km

Answer is 2 Km
