Given that the lengths of the paths of a ball thrown with different speeds by two boys are the same. If they take 0.6 seconds and 1 second respectively to cover the said length. What is the average speed of travel for the first throw if the same for the second is 96 km/hr?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Concept

Understanding

Application

Speed = distance/time

Time taken = 0.6 and 1 second

Speed of 2nd ball = 96 km/hr

Length covered by 2nd ball = 96 × 5/18

Since the length covered by both balls is same:

Speed of 1st ball = 96 × 5/18 × 1/0.6 × 5/18

= 160 km/hr
