What is the distance travelled by an object over a certain period of time?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

There are two pieces of data that need to be recorded. The distance and the time it takes to complete the known distance, gives you the speed. For an example, your car travels at a steady 60 miles, in one hour you would expect to have travelled 60 miles.

Description : Obtain a relation for the distance travelled by an object moving with a uniform acceleration in the interval between 4th and 5th seconds -Physics 9th

Last Answer : Uniform acceleration in the interval between 4th and 5th seconds = = (5u + 1/2 * a * 5^2) - (4u + 1/2 * a * 4^2) = 5u + 1/2 *a * 25 - 4u + 1/2 * a * 16 = u + 1/2 * a * (25-16) = u + 1/2 * a * 9 = u + 9/2 * a If it starts from rest then the displacement will be 9/2a. hope this helps!

Rubesh generally takes 80 minutes to reach home from office. Due to rain, he travelled at 2/3rd of his usual speed for the 1st half of the distance. At what speed should rubesh travel the remaining distance to reach home on time? a) 1.5 times the original speed b) 2 times the original speed c) 2.5 times the original speed d) 3 times the original speed e) Cannot reach on time

Description : Rubesh generally takes 80 minutes to reach home from office. Due to rain, he travelled at 2/3rd of his usual speed for the 1st half of the distance. At what speed should rubesh travel the remaining distance ... c) 2.5 times the original speed d) 3 times the original speed e) Cannot reach on time

Last Answer : Under the normal speed, 40 minutes for half the distance Due to rain, time taken will be 40 / (2/3) = 40 × (3/2) = 60 minutes So, in 20 minutes he has to cover the distance he usually covers in 40 minutes. So, he has to travel at twice the original speed. Answer: b)

2 bus start from A & B respectively and travel towards each other at a speed of 150 km/hr and 120 km/hr respectively. By the time they meet, the first bus has travelled by 300km more than the second. The distance between A & B is a) 2700 b) 2800 c) 2750 d) 2457

Description : 2 bus start from A & B respectively and travel towards each other at a speed of 150 km/hr and 120 km/hr respectively. By the time they meet, the first bus has travelled by 300km more than the second. The distance between A & B is a) 2700 b) 2800 c) 2750 d) 2457

Last Answer : A At the time of meeting, Let the distance travelled by the second bus be xkm Then distance covered by the 1st bus is (x+300)km x/120= (x+300) /150 150x = 120(x+300) 150x = 120x +36000 30x = ... X=36000/30 X=1200 So the distance covered between A & B =(x+x+300) =(1200+1200+300) =2700km.
