A bus travels at the speed of 36 km/hr, then the distance covered by it in one second is

Options

A. 10 metre
B. 15 metre
C. 12.5 metre
D. 13.5 metre

Answer

To solve the problem of finding the distance covered by a bus traveling at a speed of 36 km/hr in one second, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Understand the given speed
The speed of the bus is given as 36 km/hr.

### Step 2: Convert the speed from km/hr to m/s
To convert kilometers per hour (km/hr) to meters per second (m/s), we use the conversion factor:
1 km/hr = (1000 meters) / (3600 seconds) = 1/3.6 m/s.

So, to convert 36 km/hr to m/s:
\[ \text{Speed in m/s} = 36 \times \frac{1000}{3600} \]

### Step 3: Simplify the conversion
Calculating the conversion:
\[ \text{Speed in m/s} = 36 \times \frac{1000}{3600} = 36 \times \frac{1}{3.6} = 10 \text{ m/s} \]

### Step 4: Calculate the distance covered in one second
Since speed is defined as distance divided by time, the distance covered in one second at a speed of 10 m/s is:
\[ \text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time} = 10 \text{ m/s} \times 1 \text{ second} = 10 \text{ meters} \]

### Conclusion
The distance covered by the bus in one second is **10 meters**.
