Answer Key with Explanations
(A) 60 km/h — Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 240 ÷ 4 = 60 km/h.
(B) 5 m/s — Multiply by 5/18: 18 × 5/18 = 5 m/s.
(A) 5 hours — Time = 300 ÷ 60 = 5 hours.
(B) 12 seconds — 36 km/h = 10 m/s; time = 120 ÷ 10 = 12 s.
(C) 60 km/h — Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 120 ÷ 2 = 60 km/h.
(C) 20 m/s — Multiply by 5/18: 72 × 5/18 = 20 m/s.
(B) 12 seconds — 54 km/h = 15 m/s; time = 180 ÷ 15 = 12 s.
(D) 5/2 hours — Time = 125 ÷ 50 = 5/2 hours (2½ hours).
(A) 45 km/h — Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 90 ÷ 2 = 45 km/h.
(D) 15 m/s — Multiply by 5/18: 54 × 5/18 = 15 m/s.
