Question

if rahul covers 200 km in 4 hrs and next 300 km in next 5 hrs . calculate the speed of rahul in km/h and m/s​

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed of car for first 30 minutes = 30 km h^{-1}

Speed of car for next 1 hour = 40 km h^{-1}

(a) total distance travelled by the car

First case

Speed = distance / time

distance = speed x time

= 30 x 0.5 ---- (30 min = 0.5 hour)

= 15 km ---- (i)

Second case

speed = 40 km h^{-1}

distance = 40 km x 1

= 40 km ---- (ii)

Adding (i) and (ii)

Total distance = 15 km + 40 km

= 55 km

(b) total time of travel = 0.5 hr + 1.0 hr = 1.5 hr

(c) average speed = total distance travelled/total time taken

= 5.5 km/ 1.5 hr

= 36.67 km h^{-1}

Answer 2

Answer:

200/4 =50 km/ hour

300/5 =60km/hour

total speed 110km/ hour

average speed 55km/ hour
