Question

If distance = 2km and time = 6min , find speed in m s-¹​

Answer 1

Hey!

Considering distance covered in 6 minutes is 2km then,

2k = 2000m

6min = 360 seconds

speed will be,

2000m/360s

= 5.56m/s

Answer 2

As per the data given in the question,

We have to determine the value of speed of the object.

From the data,

it is given that,

Distance = 2 Km

Time = 6 minutes.

As here, distance is given in Km while time is given in minutes, but in last we have to determine the speed into m/s.

So, first of all we will convert all the number in cgs unit.

So, distance in meter will be $=(2\times 1000) = 2000\:m$

Time in second will be $=(6 \times 60) = 360\:seconds$

As we know that,

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

So, putting the value of distance and time in above equation,

We will get,

$Speed = \frac{2000}{360}\\=\frac{200}{36} = \frac{100}{18} = \frac{50}{9}\: m/sec$

Hence, value of speed in m/sec will be $\frac{50}{9} \:m/sec.$
