Question

A school bus covered a distance of 6 km in 10 hours calculate the speed of bus in km / hour ,m/s ​

Answer 1

Solution:

It is given that a school bus covered a distance of 6 km in 10 hours.

• Total Distance covered by school bus = 6 km or 6000 m
• Total time taken by School Bus = 10 hr or 36000 Seconds

Find Speed of bus in m/s :

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 6000/36000 m/s

Speed = 0.16 m/s

Find Speed of bus in km/hr :

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 6/10

Speed = 3/5

Speed = 0.6 km/hr

Therefore, Required Speed of School bus in m/s and km/hr are 0.16 m/s and 0.6 km/hr respectively.

Answer 2

Distance covered by bus = 6 km

Time taken to cover this distance = 10 hours

We know that,

Speed = Distance/Time

$Speed = \frac{6 \: km}{10 \: hour}$

Speed = 0.6 km/hour

Now, we have to change it in m/s

$Speed \: = \: 0.6 \times \frac{1000}{3600} \: \\ \\ Speed = \frac{6 \: m}{36 \: sec} \\ \\ Speed \: = \frac{1 \: m}{6 \: sec}$

Speed = 0.16 m/s

Therefore, speed of bus is 0.6 km/h or 0.16 m/s.
