    TIME, DISTANCE AND SPEED
    Definition
    Speed: It is defined as the rate of travel to cover a certain distance. It is generally
    expressed in m/s, km/hr etc.

    Time:
    It is defined as the duration for which travelling has been done to cover a
    certain distance. It is generally expressed in seconds, hours etc.

    Distance: It is defined as the length of path for which travelling has been done. It is
    generally expressed in metre, kilometre etc.

    𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
    Speed = 𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒

    Unit Conversions
    1) km/hr to m/s
    5
    X km/hr = (X × 18 ) 𝑚/𝑠𝑒𝑐

    Q-1. Convert 54 km/hr into


    m/sec.

    Solution:

    54 km/hr=54 × 5/18 =15 m/sec

    2) m/s to km/hr

    18
    X m/Sec = (X × 5
    ) 𝐾𝑚/ℎ𝑟

    Q2. A car goes 20 meters in a second. Find its speed in km/hr.

    Solution:
    20 m/sec = 20 × 18/5 = 72 km/hr.
    Ratios of Speed, Distance and/or Time

    If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a : b, then the ratio of the times take by them
    1 1
    to cover the same distance will be 𝑎
    : 𝑏
    or b: a.
    Q-3. The speed of three cars is in the ratio 5: 4: 6. The ratio between the time taken
    by them to travel the same distance is
    Solution:
    Ratio of time taken = ⅕: ¼: ⅙ = 12: 15: 10

    Average Speed

    Q4. A truck covers a distance of 1200 km in 40 hours. What is the average speed of the truck?
    Solution:
    Average speed = Total distance travelled/Total time taken
    ⇒ Average speed = 1200/40
    ∴ Average speed = 30 km/hr.

    Q5. A man travelled 12 km at a speed of 4 km/h and further 10 km at a speed of 5


    km/hr. What was his average speed?
    Solution:
    Total time taken = Time taken at a speed of 4 km/h + Time taken at a speed of 5 km/ h
    ⇒ 12/4 + 10/5 = 5 hours [∵ Time = Distance/Speed] Average
    speed = Total distance/Total time
    ⇒ (12 + 10) /5 = 22/5 = 4.4 km/h

    Q6. Rahul goes Delhi to Pune at a speed of 50 km/h and comes back at a speed of 75 km/h.
    Find his average speed of the journey.
    Solution:
    As, distance is same both cases
    ⇒ Required average speed = (2 × 50 × 75)/ (50 + 75) = 7500/125 = 60 km/hr.
