Speed, Distance & Time
Practice questions Practice questions 1) A 150 meter long train takes 5 seconds to cross an electric pole besides the track. What is the speed of the train ? Speed = Distance / Time = 150/5 =30 m/s = 108 km/h Practice questions 2) A 220 meter long train runnig at a speed of 72 km/h will take ____ seconds to cross an electric pole besides the track. Time = Distance / Speed = 220/20 =11 seconds Practice questions 3) A train takes 5 seconds to cross an electric pole besides the track. If its speed is 126 km/h, What is the length of the train ? Distance = Speed x Time = 35 x 5 =175 metres Practice questions 4) A 150 meter long train takes 10 seconds to cross a bridge of length 250 metres. What is the speed of the train ? Speed = Distance / Time = 400/10 =40 m/s = 144 km/h 5) A 150 meter long train takes 15 seconds to cross a platform. If the speed of the train is 60km/h, what is the length of the platform ? Distance = Speed x Time = 50/3 x 15 =250 meters ie., Total length of the train and the platform = 250 meters Therefore length of the platform = 100 meters 6) Two trains of equal length running in opposite directions in parallel tracks, takes 6 seconds to cross each other. If the speeds of the trains is 60km/h and 66 km/h, what is the length of each of the trains? Distance = Speed x time = 35 x 6 =210 meters ie., Total length of the two trains = 210 meters Therefore length of each of the trains = 105 meters 7) Two trains of equal length running in same directions in parallel tracks, takes 24 seconds to cross a each other. If the speeds of the trains is 60km/h and 90 km/h, what is the length of each of the trains? Distance = Speed x time = 25/3 x 24 =200 meters ie., Total length of the two trains = 200 meters Therefore length of each of the trains = 100 meters 8) A 150 meter long train takes 5 seconds to cross a cyclist who is riding at a speed of 20 kmph in the opposite direction to that of the train. The speed of the train is ____ Speed = Distance / Time = 150/5 = 30 m/s = 108 km/h ie., Total speed of the train and the cyclist = 108 km/h Therefore the speed of the trains = 88 km/h 9) A 120 meter long train takes 8 seconds to cross a tunnel of same length. If the speed of the train is reduced by 50%, the time taken to cross a platform of double the length of the tunnel will be ____ Time = Distance / Speed = 360/15 = 24 seconds 10) Two trains running in parallel same direction. Their lengths are 142m and 158m. The faster train takes 10 seconds to cross the slower train. If the speed of the slower train is 72 km/h, what is the speed of the faster train? Speed = Distance / Time = 300/10 = 30 m/s = 108 km/h ie., Difference in speed of the two trains = S1 – S2 = 108km/h ie., S1 – 72 = 108 Therefore the speed of the faster train = 108+72 = 144 km/h
