Numerical Problems A bus covers a distance of 600 metres in 30 seconds. Calculate the speed of
the bus.

20 m/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Distance travelled = 600 m

Time taken = 30 s

Speed =?

Speed can be defined as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed = Distance /time

With the above formula, we can easily calculate the speed of the bus as follow:

Distance travelled = 600 m

Time taken = 30 s

Speed =?

Speed = Distance /time

Speed = 600 / 30

Speed = 20 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the bus is 20 m/s.
