Get up to speed with our first Science quiz on the subject!

An athlete runs 1km in 100 seconds. Her speed in m/s is .......

0.001m/s

1m/s

10m/s

100m/s

1km = 1,000m so speed = 1,000m/100s = 10m/s

It takes an hour to walk 1,800 meters up a steep hill. The speed in m/s is .......

0.5m/s

1m/s

1.8m/s

2m/s

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds so speed = 1,800/3,600 = 0.5m/s

The speed of a cyclist who rides 300 meters in 25s is .......

0.12m/s

12m/s

24m/s

7,500m/s

300m/25s = 12m/s

A bus takes 2 hours to travel 40,000 meters. The average speed of the bus in km/h is .......

2km/h

20km/h

33km/h

200km/h

40,000m = 40km so speed = 40/2 = 20km/h

The average speed of a car which takes 2 hours to travel 160km is .......

80m/s

80km/s

80km/h

320km/h

160km/2h = 80km/h

A cyclist travels 900m in 1 minute. The speed in m/s is .......

9m/s

15m/s

30m/s

900m/s

1 minute = 60 seconds so speed = 900/60 = 15m/s

A car travels 20km in 12 minutes. The speed in km/h is .......

0.2km/h

100km/h

120km/h

240km/h

12 minutes = 12/60 = 0.2 hours so 20km/0.2h = 100km/h

A child walks 90 meters in 3 minutes. The speed in m/s is .......

0.3m/s

0.5m/s

3m/s

5m/s

3 minutes = 180 seconds so speed = 90/180 = 0.5m/s

Speed is measured in .......

cm/s

m/s

km/s

m/h

Speed is also measured in km/h, miles/h - you must make sure units are correct

10.

The speed of an athlete who runs 200 meters in 20s is .......

0.1m/s

10m/s

10km/s

4,000m/s

200/20 = 10m/s
