Q:

Important Time and Distance formulas with examples.

Answer

1. How to find Speed(s) if distance(d) & time(t) is given:


 


 Speed (S) = Distance (D)Time (T)  


 


Ex: Find speed if a person travels 4 kms in 2 hrs?


Speed = D/T = 4/2 = 2 kmph.


 


2.  Similarly, we can find distance (d)  if speed (s) & time (t) is given by


 


Distance (D) = Speed (S) x Time (T)


 


Ex : Find distance if a person with a speed of 2 kmph in 2 hrs?


Distance D = S X T = 2 x 2 = 4 kms. 


 


3.  Similarly, we can find time (t) if speed (s) &  distance (d) is given by


 


Time (T) = Distance (D)Speed (S)


 


Ex : Find in what time a person travels 4 kms with a speed of 2 kmph?


Time T = D/S = 4/2 = 2 hrs.


 


4. How to convert  km/hr into m/sec :


 


P km/hr = P x 518 m/sec


 


Ex : Convert 36 kmph into m/sec?


36 kmph = 36 x 5/18 = 10 m/sec 


 


5. How to convert  m/sec into km/hr :


 


P m/sec = P x 185 kmph.


 


Ex : Convert 10 m/sec into km/hr?


10 m/sec = 10 x 18/5 = 36 kmph.


 


6.  If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a:b, then the ratio of the times taken by them to cover the same distance is b : a.


 


7.  Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/ hr and an equal distance at y km/hr . Then, the average speed during the whole journey is 2xyx+y km/hr.
