If a runner covers a distance of 800 meters in 4 minutes, what is the speed in meters per minute?
A. 200 m/min
B. 150 m/min
C. 100 m/min
D. 250 m/min
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Speed is calculated as distance divided by time. Here, 800 m รท 4 min = 200 m/min.
Q4
Medium
If a cyclist travels at a constant speed of 12 m/s, how far will he travel in 10 seconds?
A. 120 m
B. 100 m
C. 150 m
D. 130 m
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Distance is calculated by speed multiplied by time. So, Distance = 12 m/s * 10 s = 120 m.
Q5
Medium
Which unit is commonly used to express speed?
A. Liters
B. Kilometers
C. Meters per second
D. Degrees
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C
Speed is commonly expressed in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
Q6
Medium
A train covers a distance of 240 km in 4 hours. What is its average speed?
A. 50 km/h
B. 60 km/h
C. 70 km/h
D. 80 km/h
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 240 km / 4 h = 60 km/h.
Q7
Medium
Two cars race: Car A goes 100 m in 5 seconds, while Car B goes 120 m in 6 seconds. Which car is faster?
A. Car A
B. Car B
C. Both are equal
D. Cannot determine
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B
Calculate the speeds: Car A = 100 m / 5 s = 20 m/s; Car B = 120 m / 6 s = 20 m/s. Car B is faster.
Q8
Hard
A car travels at a uniform speed of 60 km/h for 2 hours. How far does it travel in that time?
A. 120 km
B. 180 km
C. 150 km
D. 100 km
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
Distance is calculated using the formula: Distance = Speed ร— Time. Here, Distance = 60 km/h ร— 2 h = 120 km.
Q9
Hard
If a cyclist completes a lap of 500 m in 1.5 minutes, what is their speed in meters per second?
A. 3.33 m/s
B. 2.50 m/s
C. 5.00 m/s
D. 4.00 m/s
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A
To convert minutes to seconds, 1.5 minutes equals 90 seconds. Speed is then 500 m รท 90 s = 5.56 m/s.
Q10
Hard
Which of the following scenarios depicts a situation where the speed is constant?
A. A train accelerating from rest.
B. A person walking uphill.
C. A car cruising on a highway without changing speed.
