Question

the odometer at the start of the trip reads 1600 m and at the end of the trip reads 2100 m. the trip journey took 10 hours. what is the average speed in km/h and m/s​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The odometer of  reads 1600 km at the start of the trip and 2000 km at the end of the trip. Therefore, distance travelled = 2000 km - 1600 km = 400km

Now, distance travelled in 16 hrs = 400 kms

Therefore, distance travelled in 1 hr = 400/16 km = 25 km

Thus, the avg speed of the bike = 25km/h

Answer 2

Total distance travelled = 2100 - 1600

= 500m or 0.5km

Total time taken = 10 h or 10×3600s

= 36000s

Avg speed = Total Distance/ total time

In m/s ,

= 500/ 36000

= 1/72 = 0.139 m/s

In Km/h ,

= 0.5 / 10

= 0.05 km/h
