If Rahul covers a certain distance of 5 km in one hour and Sarita covers the same distance in two hours Calculate their speed and tell. who travels with a higher speed?
Answers
Explanation:
speed = distance / time
rahuls speed = 5km / 1hr = 5km/hr
saritas speed = 5km / 2hr = 2.5 km/hr
as 5km/hr is greater than 2.5 km/hr
Rahul travels at a higher speed
Answer:
Rahul travels with a higher speed as compared to Sarita.
Explanation:
We know that,
Speed is defined as the distance travelled by an object or person per unit time. It is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is meters per second (m/s). The formula for speed is:
Speed = Distance / Time
Where,
Distance is the distance travelled by the object or person.
Time is the time taken to cover that distance.
Speed = Distance / Time
Let's calculate the speeds of Rahul and Sarita.
Rahul's speed = 5 km / 1 hour = 5 km/hour
Sarita's speed = 5 km / 2 hours = 2.5 km/hour
Therefore, Rahul travels with a higher speed as compared to Sarita.
