A car moves with a constant speed through 150 m in 5 s.What is its speed?
- A.
  
  30 m/s
- B.
  
  0.033 m/s
- C.
  
  750 m/s
- D.
  
  0 m/s
Correct Answer
A. 30 m/s

Explanation
The car moves a distance of 150 m in a time of 5 s. To find the speed, we divide the distance by the time, which gives us 150 m / 5 s = 30 m/s. Therefore, the speed of the car is 30 m/s.

  60 km/h
- D.
  
  63.89 km/h
Correct Answer
C. 60 km/h

Explanation
The average speed of a journey is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. In this case, the car traveled a total distance of 1200 km in a total time of 20 hours. Therefore, the average speed of the journey would be 1200 km divided by 20 hours, which equals 60 km/h.

An aeroplane moves with a constant speed of 120 m/s.Find the distance travelled in 1 minute?

  120 m
- B.
  
  2 m
- C.
  
  7200 m
- D.
  
  0.5 m
Correct Answer
C. 7200 m

Explanation
The distance travelled by the airplane can be calculated by multiplying its speed by the time it takes to travel. In this case, the speed is given as 120 m/s and the time is 1 minute. Since 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds, the distance travelled would be 120 m/s * 60 s = 7200 m.

Correct Answer
A. 384 m

Explanation
Hanafi runs at a constant speed of 3.2 m/s. In 2 minutes, there are 120 seconds. To find the distance covered, we can multiply the speed by the time. Therefore, 3.2 m/s * 120 s = 384 m.

Correct Answer
A. 0 m/s

Explanation
Since the question states that the bus is parked and not moving, its speed is 0 m/s. Speed is defined as the rate at which an object changes its position, and if the bus is not changing its position, it means it is stationary and its speed is 0 m/s.
