A train of length 100m is crossing 200m in length, at the speed of 20m/s. What is the time taken by the train crossing the bridge?

Correct answer: B. 15 sec

  • A. 10 sec
  • B. 15 sec
  • C. 20 sec
  • D. 25 sec

Explanation

To calculateSpeed = 20m/sTotal distance = 100m +200m =300mTime = distance/speed = 300/20 =15s

About Displacement and Velocity

Displacement is the directed change in position, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement and includes both magnitude and direction. The topic connects position-time and velocity-time graphs with average and instantaneous values, and distinguishes displacement from distance and velocity from speed.
