1) The distance from the southern tip of Singapore to Batam is 20 km. If a ferry
starts on its journey from Singapore at 10.50 a.m. and reaches Batam at 11.30
a.m., calculate the speed of the ferry in
i) km/h
ii) m/s

2) A car travels at a speed of 55 km/h. Find the distance travelled by the car in 12
minutes 30 seconds, giving your answer in metres.

3) Express 48.6 km/h in


i) m/s
ii) cm/min

4) The cheetah is the fastest land animal, capable of attaining a speed of 110
km/h. In August 2009, the world record for the men’s 100 m sprint was set at
9.58 seconds. How many times is a cheetah as fast as the fastest human
sprinter?

5) In a triathlon, Farhan swims a distance of 1.5 km at an average speed of 2.5


10
km/h, cycles 40 km in 1,5 hours and runs at an average speed of 9 km/h for 9
hours. Find his average speed for the entire competition.

6) A car leaves Town A for Town B, which are 550 km apart, at an average speed
of 72 km/h. At the same time, a truck leaves Town B for Town A and travels
along the same road as the car at an average speed of 38 km/h. Find the time
taken for the two vehicles to meet.

7) The diameter of a wheel of a car is 0.75 m. If the car travels at an average


speed of 14 m/s, find the number of revolutions made by the wheel per minute,
giving your answer correct to the nearest whole number (use pi = 3.142)
