- The boat
A boatman goes 2 km against the stream in 40 minutes and returns to the same spot in 30 minutes. What is his rate of rowing in still water?
- A plane 3
A plane left 30 minutes later than the scheduled time and in order to reach the destination 1500 km away in time, it has to increase the speed by 250 km/hr from the usual speed. Find its usual speed.
- Two trains 16
Two trains cross each other in 14 seconds when they are moving in opposite direction and when they are moving in the same direction they cross each other in 3 minutes 2 seconds . The speed of the faster train is by what percent more than the slower train?
- Usual speed 2
A passenger train takes 1 h less for a journey of 120 km.If its speed increased by 10 k/h from its usual speed. What is its usual speed?
- By increasing
By increasing the speed of his car by 15 km/h, a person covers a 300 km distance in an hour less than before. What was the original speed?
- A train 4
A train passes two bridges of 400 m and 260 m in 25 sec and 18 sec, respectively. Find the length and speed of the train.
- A boat 4
A boat travels 25 km upstream in 5 hours and 25 km downstream in 2.5 hours. If the boat increased its speed by 3 km/h, it would take 1 hour less to travel the downstream distance. Find the speed of the stream.
- A boat 3
A boat takes 1 hour longer to go 36 km up a river than to return. If the river flows at 3 km/h, find the rate at which the boat travels in still water.
- 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 .
- 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 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.
- 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 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
- Bad weather
An aircraft was slowed down during a 600 km flight due to bad weather. Its average speed was reduced by 200 km/hr from its usual speed, and the flight time increased by 30 minutes. Find the scheduled duration of the flight.
- Peter 16
Peter travels to his uncle's home, 30 km away from his place. He cycles for 2/3 of the journey before the cycle develops a mechanical problem, and he has to push it for the rest of the journey. If he is cycling 10 km per hour faster than his walking speed
- Acceleration 83304
The acceleration of a mass point during its rectilinear movement decreases uniformly from the initial value a0 = 10 m/s2 at time t0 = 0 to a zero value for a period of 20 s. What is the speed of the mass point at time t1 = 20 s, and what is the path of th
- Traveled 82618
The car traveled a distance of 120 km in 1 hour 50 minutes. The first part of this track traveled at a speed of 50 km per hour, and the second part traveled at a speed of 75 km per hour. The 10 minutes the driver needed to fill the gas are included in the
- Increases 80774
A bus travels between places A and B. If it increases its average speed by 5 km/h, the travel time will be reduced by 20 minutes. If he reduces his original speed by 4 km/h, the driving time is increased by 20 minutes. What is the average speed of the bus
- Mountain climbing
Ken and his brother decided to go on mountain climbing 8 miles from their house to Mt. Daraitan at a rate of x mph (miles per hour). For the return trip, it was 2 mph faster. It took them 6 hours for the entire round trip. What is the x?
