Practicing Success
What is the time taken by a train running at 54 km/hr to cross a man standing on a platform. the length of the train being 180 m? |
6 seconds 12 seconds 16 seconds 18 seconds |
12 seconds |
Speed = \(\frac{Distance}{Time }\) Time = \(\frac{Distance}{Speed }\) Speed in m/s = 54 x \(\frac{5 }{18 }\) = 15 m/s Time = \(\frac{Distance}{Speed }\) Time = \(\frac{180}{15}\) Time = 12 seconds
*Note* - To convert km/hr to m/s = \(\frac{5 }{ 18}\) To convert m/s to km/hr = \(\frac{18 }{5 }\) |
