Velocity - practice problems - page 3 of 54
The velocity of an object is the time rate of change of its position. Velocity is a specification of an object's speed and direction of motion (e.g. 20 m/s to the south).In everyday use and in kinematics, the speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity (the rate of change of its position) - scalar.

- Walker
Walker A takes 3 hours more than B in walking 30 km. If A doubles his speed, he will take 2 h less than walker B. Find the speeds of walkers A and B . - Constant speed
At a constant speed, a train travels 45 miles in 60 minutes. At this rate, how far does the train travel in 12 minutes? - River current
In a river, a man takes 3 hours in rowing 3 km upstream or 15 km downstream. What is the speed of the current? - A thief
A thief is spotted by a policeman from a distance of 100 metres. When the policeman starts the chase, the thief also starts running. If the speed of the thief be 8 km/hr and that of the policeman 10 km/hr . How far the thief will have run before he is ove
- Two parts of a run Adam can cover a certain distance in 1 hour 24 min by covering two-thirds at 4 km/hr and the rest at 5 km/hr. Find the total distance.
- Bus vs train 2
The average speed of a bus is three-fourths the average speed of a train. The train covers 240 km in 12 hours. How much distance will the bus cover in 7 hours? - A boat
A boat covers 20 km in an hour downstream and covers the same distance in 2 hours upstream. Then, find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the stream. - Two trains 10 Two trains of lengths 75 m and 95 m are moving in the same direction at 9 m/s and 8 m/s, respectively. Find the time taken by the faster train to cross the slower train.
- A car 10
A car covers a distance of 200 km in 2 h 40 min whereas a jeep covers the same distance in 2 h. What is the ratio of their speeds?
- Three journeys If a person covers three equal distances at the speed of 30 km/h, 15 km/h and 10 km/h respectively, then find out the average speed during the whole journey.
- Two trains 9
A passenger train moving at a speed of 90 km/h leaves a station 6 hours after a goods (freight) train has left the station and overtakes it in 4 hours. What is the speed of the goods train? - A journey - 2 parts A part of journey is covered in 1 h 40 min at 75 km/h and the remaining part of it is covered in 2 h 50 min at 60 km/h.Find the total length of the journey and average speed.
- The speed 3 The speed of a boat in still water is 10 km/h. If the boat goes 37.5 km upstream in 5 h, find the speed of the stream.
- A train 2 A train 90 meters long is moving at speed 80 km/h overtakes a second train moving at 56 km/h in the same direction and passes completely in 25 1/2 seconds. Compute how long is the second train.
- Parallel tracks Two trains cross each other in 14 seconds when running in opposite directions along parallel tracks. The faster train is 160 m long and crosses a lamp post in 12 seconds. If the speed of the other train is 6 km/hr less than the faster one, its length, in
- A man 18 A man walks for t1 hours at 4 km/h and then for t2 hours at 3 km/h. If he walks 29 km in 8 hours altogether, find the value of t1 and t2, respectively.
- Two towns
X and Y are two towns . A man goes from town X to town Y at an average speed of 30km/h and returns at the average speed 20km/h. Find the distance between the two towns if the man takes 10 hours on the whole. - Mr. Stephan
Mr. Stephan cycled at an average speed of 15 km/h for 10 km. He then cycled another 12 km at an average speed of 18 km/h. Please find the total time taken for his journey. - Two places 3
The distance between two places, A and B, is 90 km. Two cars start together from A and B. If both the cars go in the same direction, they meet after 9 hours, and if they go in opposite directions, they meet after 9/7 hours. Find their speeds. (Assume that
