Question

A bus travels 20 km in 1 hour. What is the speed of the bus in meters per second?

a) 5 m/s
b) 10 m/s
c) 15 m/s
d) 20 m/s

Answer 1

The speed of the bus is 5 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the speed of the bus in meters per second, we need to convert the distance from kilometers to meters and the time from hours to seconds. The bus travels 20 km in 1 hour, so the speed is 20,000 meters divided by 3,600 seconds, which equals 5.56 m/s. Therefore, the correct answer is a) 5 m/s.
