Question

6. A train 500 m long crosses a bridge of 1000 m in 10 s.
Find the average speed of the train. [150 m.s-1​

Answer 1

Answer:

Average speed = 150 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

• Length of train = 500 metres

• Length of the bridge = 1000 metres

• Time taken to cross the bridge = 10 seconds

To find:

• Average speed of the train

Average speed = $\frac{Total \ distance }{Total \ time}$

Total distance = Length of train + Length of bridge

Total distance = 500 metres + 1000 metres

Total distance = 1500 metres

Total time = 10 seconds

Average speed = $\frac{1500}{10}$

Average speed = 150 m/s

The average speed of the train is equal to 150 m/s
