Question

.The distance between two stations is 240 km. A train takes 4 hours to cover this distance. Calculate the speed of the train.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us first understand what speed of a moving body.

When a body moves from one point to another, we say that the body moved or the body is in motion. In our daily lives, we see a lot of bodies in motion. We understand the motion of the bodies by a term called speed. Speed of a body is defined as the distance covered by the body in one unit of time.

In the given question we are asked to find the average speed of the train.

Let us understand what average speed is.

Average speed of the body is defined as the total distance covered by the body divided by the time taken to cover this distance.

Suppose a body travels from one point to another point. Say from point A to point B. Suppose the body covers a total distance d and it takes time t to cover this distance. Then the average speed of the train is given as v=dt …. (i).

In the question, it is given that the train covers a distance of 240km in a time interval of 4 hours. Hence, d = 240km and t = 4hours.

Substitute the values of d and t in equation (i).

v=2404=60kmh−1.

Hence, the speed of the train is 60km/h.

Hope it helps you keep smiling :)

Answer 2

$\huge \bold { \overline{ \underline \orange{answer}}}$

• Distance = 240 km
• Time taken = 4 hours

Speed = Distance covered/time taken

= 240km/4 hammer

=60 km/h

Speed of train =60 km/h
