Chapter SH, Problem 2.9APP

To determine

To Calculate: The time taken to travel $950\text{ km}$ .

Answer to Problem 2.9APP

The time taken to travel $950\text{ km}$ is approximately $\text{8 h}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Speed of the train $=120\text{ km/h}$

Distance $=950\text{ km}$

Formula used:

  $\text{ speed}=\frac{\text{ distance}}{\text{ time}}$

Calculation:

As per the problem,

Speed of the train $=120\text{ km/h}$

Distance $=950\text{ km}$

To find the total time, substitute the values of distance and speed in the rearranged speed formula.

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Time}=\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}\\ \text{Time}=\frac{\text{950 km}}{\text{120 km/h}}\approx \text{8 h}\end{array}$

Conclusion:

The time taken to travel $950\text{ km}$ is approximately $\text{8 h}$ .
