Question

A bus is moving at 20ms-1. How much distance in kilometre will the bus cover in 25 minutes?

Answer 1

Explanation:

A bus will cover distance 30 kilometres in 25 minutes

Answer 2

Answer:

30 km

Explanation:

As per the provided information in the given question, we have :

• Speed of the bus (v) = 20 m/s
• Time taken (t) = 25 minutes

We are asked to calculate the distance covered by bus in 25 minutes.

Firstly let's understand about distance. Distance is the total length of the path covered by the body. It can also be defined as the product of speed and time. SI unit of distance is metre (m). It is a scalar quantity.

In order to calculate the distance covered by bus in 25 minutes, firstly we need to convert time into seconds units.

Converting minutes into seconds :

⇒ Time = 25 minutes

⇒ Time = (25 × 60) seconds

⇒ Time = 1500 seconds

Now, as we know that,

⇒ Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ Distance = (20 × 1500) m

⇒ Distance = 30000 m

⇒ Distance = 30 km

∴ Distance covered in 25 minutes is 30 km.
