Question

How much time is required for a bicycle to travel a distance of 100 m at an average speed of 2 mi./s

Answer 1

The time required for a bicycle to travel the distance of 100 m is 50 s.

Explanation:

We know that speed is the measure of how fast an object can move to cover a given distance in given time. So it is measured as the ratio of distance per unit time.

            $Speed =\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Time }}$

As it is scalar quantity, direction does not play any role in it.

So time taken for covering the distance of 100 m with speed of 2 m/s can be determined as

           $Time =\frac{\text { Distance }}{\text { Speed }}=\frac{100}{2}=50 seconds$

Thus, 50 s will be required by the bicycle to cover 100 m distance.
