Speed Time and Distance Formula List

Time and Distance Formula


All the important Time and Distance formulas are given here. Using the Time and
Distance formulas you can easily solve the Questions based on Speed Time and
Distance.

Speed Time and Distance Formula List

1. Speed = Distance/Time
2. Time =Distance/Speed
3. Distance = (Speed × Time)
4. Average Speed= Total Distance / Total Time
5. 1 km/hr = 5/18 m/sec
6. 1 m/sec = 18/5 km/hr
7. If the ratio of the speeds of A and B is a: b, then the ratio of the times
taken by them to cover the same distance is 1/a: 1/b =b:a
8. Suppose a man covers a certain distance at x km/hr and an equal
distance at y km/hr. Then, the average speed during the whole
journey is (2xy /x+y) km/hr.
9. If two people A and B set out from two points P and Q at the same
time and cross paths after spending T1 and T2 hours getting to P and
Q, respectively, then (A's speed) / (B's speed) equals √(T2 / T1)..

Time and Distance Formula: Trains

The time and Distance formula can be implemented on the problems on


Trains. Although the basic concept of Time and distance is the same, some
changes are there due to train length. Let's give a look at the Time and
Distance formula for Trains.

1. If the Speed of the two trains is S1 and S2 respectively and lengths are
L1 and L2, then,
Relative speed = S1+S2
While moving in the opposite
direction Time is taken = [(L1 + L2)/(
S1+S2)]

While moving in the same direction Relative speed = S1-S2

Time taken = [(L1 + L2)/ (S1- S2)]

2. When two trains of lengths L1 and L2 cross each other at speeds of S1


and S2, respectively, in time t, the equation is given as S1+S2 = (L1+L2)/t.

3. When a train of length L1 passing another train of length L2 passes


another train of length l2 at a speed formula is expressed as S1 = (L1+L2)/t

4. when a train of length L1 traveling at a speed of S1 traverses a platform,


bridge, or tunnel of length L2 in time t. the equation is stated as S1-S2 =
(L1+L2)/t.

5. If the train passes an electric pole then, the Length of the Train= Train's
speed × Time
