Truck Speed & Distance: Understanding 4 Minutes and 3000m

Mr. Minh, a Hyundai HD99 truck driver, was transporting goods from Long Bien district to Ha Dong district in Hanoi. The roads were clear, and he comfortably drove along Pham Van Dong Street. Glancing at his watch, he calculated, “4 more minutes to Thang Long Bridge, about 3000m. My truck is running smoothly!” He smiled, grateful for his reliable Hyundai truck.

So, what does “a truck traveling 3000m in 4 minutes” mean? Let’s find out!

Analyzing Speed in Detail

“A truck traveling 3000m in 4 minutes” refers to the truck’s speed. Speed measures the distance traveled per unit of time.

• Distance: 3000m
• Time: 4 minutes = 240 seconds

To calculate speed, we use the formula:

Speed = Distance / Time

In this case:

Speed = 3000m / 240s = 12.5 m/s

For easier understanding, we can convert this to km/h:

Speed = 12.5 m/s = 45 km/h

Therefore, the truck is traveling at 45 km/h.
