A bus takes 40 minutes to cover a distance of 18km.Calculate its 2speed in km/h and m/s? |

Answer» > We have given that the TIME t = 40 minutes TAKEN by the school bus to covered the distance of d= 16 km. Find out :- school bus speed s = ? in m/s uniit or in km/hr. unit. Now we know that, Speed formula is S = (distance /time taken)= (d/t) Before solving the problem we just convert all the respective units in the meter/second so the calculation will becomes easier. Time t = 40 minutes ( 1 minute = 60 second ) Time t = (40×60) second = 2400 second. Distance d = 16 km (1 km = 1000 meter) Distance d = 16×1000= 16000 meter. Now just substitute all the given values in the formula we GET, Speed S = (distance /time taken)= (d/t) Speed S = (16000 meter/2400 second)= 6.66666667 m/s So take just approximately value near the two digits after the point. Speed S = 6.67 m/s answer. Now we have to convert it into the km /hours so it is simple just multiple the answer by (5/18) value. Speed S = 6.67× (5/18)= 1.85277778 km /hour. Speed S = 1.85 km /hour answer. I hope that your doubt will be cleared up my dear friend. Thankyou, |
