Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Understanding Speed, Distance, and Time

  • Speed is the distance covered in unit time.
  • Distance is how far an object travels.
  • Time is the duration for which the object travels.
2

2. Unit Conversion in Speed

  • Speed can be expressed in different units like m/s, km/h, cm/s, etc.
  • To convert km/h to m/s, multiply by 5/18.
  • To convert m/s to km/h, multiply by 18/5.
3

3. Average Speed and Real-Life Problems

  • Average speed = Total Distance ÷ Total Time.
  • Even if speeds vary, average speed depends only on total distance and total time.
  • Used in journeys with multiple parts — like car, train, and bus.
4

4. Problems on Moving Trains

  • When a train passes a pole, distance covered = length of train.
  • When a train passes a platform, distance covered = length of train + length of platform.
  • Speed must be in compatible units — convert km/h to m/s if needed.
