Question

the distance traveled by a car in 20 min is 240 km . Calculate it's speed​

Answer 1

Answer:

distance travelled = 240 km or 240000 m

time taken = 20 min or 1200 sec

speed = distance / time

= 240000/1200

= 200 m/s

Answer 2

Given:

Distance travelled = 240 km = 240000 metre

Time taken = 20 min = 1200 seconds

To Find: Speed of car

Calculation:

• Speed is defined as change in position of a body with respect to time.
• Speed is a scalar quantity which means it has only magnitude.
• Speed is given as:

$speed =\frac{distance}{time}$

$speed = \frac{240000}{1200} =200 m/s$

Answer:

Speed of car is 200 m/s.
