Question

4. A train moves with a speed of 360km/hr. Calculate the distance covered by the
train in 20minutes. (3 marks)​

Answer 1

Lets have a look at the numbers and values we’ve been given.

Train is uniform at 360 km/h

It travels for 20 minutes. How far did it go?

The answer is simple. Apply the formula of:

Speed= Distance travelled/Time taken

Or, Distance travelled= Speed(in km/h)*Time taken(in hours)

The train moves at a uniform velocity of 60km/h

The train travels for 20minutes or 1/3 of an hour.

Multiply the values:

360*1/3

We get an answer of 120km.

We can now conclude with the answer of 120km.
