Question

What will be the distance travelled by a car moving at 60km/hr in 37 minutes?​

Answer 1

Given:

Car is moving at 60 km/hr at a speed of 37 minutes.

To find:

Distance travelled.

Calculation:

37 minutes = 37/60 hours.

Now , distance is a scalar quantity represented by the total path length travelled by an object. It can be calculated by multiplying speed with time.

$\therefore \: d = speed \times time$

$= > \: d = 60 \times ( \dfrac{37}{60} )$

$= > \: d = 37 \: km$

So, the final answer is:

$\boxed{ \: distance = 37 \: km}$

Other things to know:

• Displacement is different from distance.

• Displacement is a vector quantity represented as the shortest length between the starting and the starting point of an object.

• Displacement is a vector quantity whereas distance is a scalar quantity.

Answer 2

Given : A car is moving at a speed of 60 km/hr in 37 minutes.

　

To find : What is the distance travelled.

　

Terms :

• km/hr → Kilometre/Hour.
• 1 kilometre → 1000 meters.
• 1 hour → 60 seconds.

　

Applying formula :

★ Distance travelled = Speed × Time.

　

Calculations :

→ Distance travelled = 60 × 37/60

→ Distance travelled = 60 × 0.616666667

→ Distance travelled = 37 km

　

Therefore, 37 km is the distance travelled by the car.
