Question

An electic train is moving with a speed of 150 km/h.how much distance will it cover in 24 seconds?

Answer 1

Hey there!

Distance is the length of path travelled.
Speed is the Distance travelled in unit time .

We know,
Speed = Distance covered / Time taken .

Speed = 150 km/h .

Converting into m/s .

1 kmph = 5/18 m/s .

Speed = 150 * 5/18 m/s = 75 * 5 / 9 = 375/9 m/s .

Now,

Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 375/9 * 24

= 375/ 3 * 8

= 1000m

Hope helped!

Answer 2

the train will cover 375m

note-i multipled 150 from 5/18 to convert into m/sec
