Question

Arrange the following speeds in the increasing order:
(i) A bicycle moving with a speed of 36 km/h.
(ii) A car moving with a speed of 2 km/min.
(iii) An athlete running with a speed of 7 m/s.

Answer 1

We convert all the speeds in m/s to compare them.
36 km/hr = (36 X 1000)/3600 = 10m/s.
2 km/min = (2 X 1000)/60 = 33.3 m/s.
7 m/s = 7 m/s.
So increasing order of speed is 7m/s < 10m/s <33m/s.
