A school bus travel at a distance of 2km in 20 minutes. Find the speed in metre per second.
➷ʀᴇǫᴜɪʀᴇᴅ ᴀɴsᴡᴇʀ:-
ɢɪᴠᴇɴ:-
- Distance travelled by the bus = 2km
- Time taken by the bus = 20 minutes
ᴛᴏ ғɪɴᴅ:-
- Speed of the bus in meter per second.
sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ:-
- First, we have to convert the distance in meter and the time in second.Then applying the formula of speed, we can calculate the speed of the bus I'm meter per second.
>>Speed:- Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered.
✥Formula of speed:-
- ◍Speed = Distance/Time
We have,
- Distance = 2km = (2×1000)m = 2000m [ ∵ 1km = 1000m]
- Time = 20 minutes = (20×60)s = 1200s [ ∵ 1 minutes = 60 seconds]
Substituting the values:-
- → Speed = Distance/Time
- → Speed = 2000m/1200s
- → Speed = 1.667m/s
❖ Therefore, the speed of the bus is 1.667m/s [ approximately ]
