Question

How long dose it take to travel 5km at an average speed of 8 m/s? Give your answers in minutes and seconds

Answer 1

Answer:

625 seconds and 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

distancs=S=5km=5000m

average speed=v=8m/s

time taken=t=?

as we know that

average speed=$\frac{distance covered}{time taken}$

average speed×time taken=distance covered

here we have to find the time taken

time taken=$\frac{distance covered}{average speed}$

time taken=$\frac{5000m}{8m/s}$

time taken=625seconds

now we convert seconds into minutes

$\frac{625}{60}$

10 minutes
