Question

A truck covers a distance of 360 km in 5 hrs. Find its speed

Answer 1

72 km / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed equals to distance over time. We are given distance equal 360 km and time in 5 hours.

Hence:

`\displaystyle \large{s=(360)/(5)}\\\displaystyle \large{s=72}`

Therefore, the speed is 72 km / hour.

Notes

Sometimes, speed is defined as ‘v’ while velocity is defined as ‘v vector’ indicating that velocity is speed with direction and speed is just velocity with only magnitude.
