Question 3
F

A train travels 18 km in 15 minutes.

Use the equation: distance travelled=speed×time\text{distance travelled} = \text{speed} \times \text{time}distance travelled=speed×time

a.

Calculate the average speed of the train in m/s\text{m/s}m/s.

[3]
b.

The speed limit for trains on this part of the track is 90 km/h.

Determine whether the average speed of the train is above or below the speed limit.

Show your working.

c.

The train then travels a further 12 km at a constant speed of 25 m/s.

Calculate the time this takes.

Give your answer in minutes.
