i. Calculate the time taken by the train to cover this distance.
ii. She further travelled for 3hours at a speed of 120km/h towards North. Calculate the distance she covered in this time.
iii. Zia was driving his truck on the super highway. His speed was recorded by the motorway camera between 6:00am to 8:30am. He covered a distance of 250km during this time. Calculate his average speed between this time duration.
Answers
Answer:
(i) 1/3 hours or 20 min or 120s
(ii) 360 km
(iii) 100 kmph
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) speed =distance/time
time=distance/speed
time=40/120 hours
=1/3 hours
=20min=120s
(ii) distance=speed×time
=120×3=360 km
(iii)speed =distance/time
here, time =2.5 hours
speed=250/2.5
=100kmph
hope it helps you ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️
Given:
(I) Average speed= 120 km/hour
Distance= 40 km
(II) Time= 3 hours
Speed= 120 km/hour
(III) Time of travel= 6:00am to 8:30am.
Distance= 250km
To find:
(I) Time taken to cover the distance
(II) Distance covered in that time
(III) Average speed during that time duration
Solution:
(I) As we know,
Speed = Distance/Time
So, Time = Distance/Speed
So, Time = 40/120 = 1/3 hours or 20 minutes
So the time taken is 1/3 hours or 20 minutes
(II) As Distance= Speed* Time =( 120*3)km= 360 km
So the distance covered is 360km
(III) As Average speed= Total distance/Total time
So total time is 2.5 hours
Average speed = 250/2.5 = 100 km/hour
So the average speed is 100 km/hour.
