Q. A bowler throws a cricket ball at a speed of 36km/hr. How long does this ball take to travel a distance of 20metres to reach the batsman?
Convert Speed to Meters/Second: Convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per second.Reasoning: Since the distance is given in meters and we want the time in seconds, we need to convert the speed to meters per second for consistency in units.Calculation: 36km/hr×(1000meters/1km)×(1hr/3600seconds)=10meters/second.
Calculate Time for 20 Meters: Calculate the time it takes to travel 20 meters at the speed of 10 meters per second.Reasoning: Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.Calculation: Time = Distance / Speed =20 meters /10 meters/second =2 seconds.
