Question

A cycle is moving with speed of 10km per hour. Total distance covered by the cycle is 500km. How much time taken by bicycle​

Answer 1

Required Answer :

• Time taken by the bicycle in covering a distance of 500 km = 50 hours

Given :

• Speed of a cycle = 10 km/hr
• Total distance covered by the cycle = 500 km

To find :

• Total time taken by the cycle in covering the distance of 500 km

Solution :

★ Formula to calculate the time taken by an object when distance, speed is given :-

• Time = D ÷ S

where,

• D denotes the distance travelled by the object
• S denotes the speed of the object

we have,

• Distance (D) = 500 km
• Speed (S) = 10 km/hr

Substituting the given values :-

⇒ Time = 500 ÷ 10

⇒ Time = 50

Therefore, the time taken by the cycle = 50 hours

Distance :

• It is the path travelled by an object in a particular direction.
• It is a scalar quantity.
• It's S.I. unit is km.
• Formula to calculate distance :-

⠀⠀⠀⇒ Distance = Speed × Time

Speed :

• It is the rate at which an object travels.
• It is a scalar quantity.
• It's S.I. unit is km/hr.
• Formula to calculate speed :-

⠀⠀⠀⇒ Speed = Distance ÷ Time
