Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A river flows at a speed of 3 m/s. How far will it travel in 2 hours? (2020)
  • Step 1: Identify the speed of the river, which is 3 meters per second (m/s).
  • Step 2: Convert the time from hours to seconds. Since there are 3600 seconds in an hour, multiply 2 hours by 3600 seconds/hour: 2 hours × 3600 seconds/hour = 7200 seconds.
  • Step 3: Use the formula for distance, which is Distance = speed × time.
  • Step 4: Plug in the values: Distance = 3 m/s × 7200 s.
  • Step 5: Calculate the distance: 3 × 7200 = 21600 meters.
  • Distance Calculation – The question tests the ability to calculate distance using the formula Distance = Speed × Time.
  • Unit Conversion – Understanding the need to convert hours into seconds to use the speed in meters per second.
