## Time, Speed and Distance

#### Time and speed shortcuts-Part 1

Basics:
Speed     =  Distance / Time
Time       =   Distance / Speed
Distance  =   Speed * Time
For conversion of Km/hr to m/sec and as well as m/sec to km/hr
• For km/hr to m/sec    =  we need multiply with 5/18
• For m/sec to km/hr    =  we need multiply with 18/5
If u need clear info about conversion you can comment below

Ex:-
1. A person crosses a 600 m long street in 5 minutes. what is his speed in km/hr?

Ans:
D= 600m
T= 5min
S=? in km/hr
In this, we can’t do the direct calculation because speed in meters and Time in minutes so we need to convert anyone either speed into km or Time into sec or hr
•     Time = 5*60
= 300sec
•     Speed=Distance/Time
= 600/5
= 120
= 2 m/s
But this is not answer for the above question this is the mistake that most of the people doing in exams
Because it is m/sec but we need km/hr so we need to convert it.
km/hr=  2*(18/5)
=   72km/hr
2. If a person walks at 14 km/hr instead of 10km /hr, he would have walked 20km more. The actual distance traveled by him is?

Ans:
For the speed at 10 km/hr the assume distance D and as well as at 14 km/hr he would be walked 20km more So D2=D+20

Given Data :
D  =D
T  =T
D2=  D+20

Here time for the both speeds are same so we can use the formula

(D/S1)=((D+20)/S2)
by solving above   7D=5D+100
7D-5D=100   =>   2D=100
Distance D= 100/2   => 50km
