speed of the body is 25km/h and distance travelled is 5km . what is the time taken to travel 5 km find it in seconds?
How to Calculate the Time Taken to Travel a Certain Distance?
To find the time taken to travel a certain distance, we use the formula:
Speed = Distance / Time
Rearranging this formula to solve for time, we get:
Time = Distance / Speed
Given:
- Speed = 25 km/h
- Distance = 5 km
Let’s plug these values into the formula to find the time in hours first and then convert it to seconds.
Calculating Time in Hours:
\text{Time (in hours)} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{5 \text{ km}}{25 \text{ km/h}} = \frac{1}{5} \text{ hours}
Converting Hours to Seconds:
1 hour = 3600 seconds
Thus,
\text{Time (in seconds)} = \frac{1}{5} \times 3600 \text{ seconds} = 720 \text{ seconds}
Therefore, the time taken to travel 5 km at a speed of 25 km/h is 720 seconds.
