Question

The distance between two station is 250km A train takes 5 hours to cover this distance Calculate the speed of the train

Answer 1

Answer:

T = 5 hrs

S= 250 km

V = ?

V = S/T

V = 250/5

∴ V = 50 km/hr

Answer 2

SPEED OF TRAIN IS 50 km/hr.

Given:

• Distance travelled = 250 km
• Time taken = 5 hours

To find:

• Speed of train?

Calculation:

Speed is a scalar quantity characterized by the distance travelled in unit time.

In simple words, speed is calculated as the net distance divided by the net time taken.

• The SI unit of speed is metre/second. But here we will calculate the speed in km/hour unit.

$v = \dfrac{distance}{time}$

$\implies v = \dfrac{250}{5}$

$\implies v = 50 \: km/hr$

So, the speed of train is 50 km/hr.
