Question

A man covers a distance of 20km in 20mins. Calculate its speed in km/h amd m/s.​

Answer 1

Speed of a body is the distance covered by the body in unit time.
Therefore Speed=  which implies:


1. In order to find speed, if :

Distance is in metre (m) and time in second (s); then the speed is in metre per second (m/s)

Distance is in Km (Km) and time in hour (h); then the speed is in Kilometer per hour (Km/h)

2. In order to find the distance, if:

Speed is in metre per second (m/s); time must be in second .

Speed is in Kilometer per hour (Km/h);time must be in hour

3. In order to find time, if:

Speed is in Kilometer per hour (Km/h), distance must be in Kilometer.

Speed is in metre per second(m/s), distance must be in metre.

Unit of Speed



Now, the various units of distance are metre, centimetre, Kilometre etc. and the various units of time are hour, minutes and seconds.
So, say we take the unit of distance to be centimetre (cm.) and the unit of time to be second (s.).
Example: A snail covers a distance of 8 cm in 4 seconds.
