Question

A train travels 600 km in one hour. What is the trains velocity in meters/second

Answer 1

v= s/t

600 ÷ 60

10 m/s

Answer 2

Speed of the train, v = 166.66 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Distance traveled by the train in one hour, d = 600 km = 600000 m

Time, t = 1 hour = 3600 seconds

We need to find the velocity of the train. Total distance covered in total time is called the velocity of an object. It is given by :

`v=(d)/(t)`

`v=(600000\ m/s)/(3600\ s)`

v = 166.66 m/s

So, the velocity of the train is 166.66 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
