Class 7 Science – Motion, Distance and Speed (Worksheet with Answers) Class 7 – Motion, Distance and Speed (Worksheet with Solutions) Question 1 Calculate the speed of a car that travels 150 metres in 10 seconds. Express your answer in km/h. • Speed = Distance ÷ Time = 150 ÷ 10 = 15 m/s • In km/h: 15 × 3.6 = 54 km/h Question 2 A runner completes 400 metres in 50 seconds. Another runner completes the same distance in 45 seconds. Who has a greater speed and by how much? • Runner A = 400 ÷ 50 = 8 m/s • Runner B = 400 ÷ 45 ≈ 8.89 m/s • Difference = 8.89 − 8.00 = 0.89 m/s . Runner B is faster. Question 3 A train travels at a speed of 25 m/s and covers a distance of 360 km. How much time does it take? • Convert speed to km/h: 25 × 3.6 = 90 km/h • Time = Distance ÷ Speed = 360 ÷ 90 = 4 hours Question 4 A train travels 180 km in 3 h. Find its speed in: (i) km/h (ii) m/s (iii) What distance will it travel in 4 h if it maintains the same speed througho...

Grade-7 Worksheet: Motion, Distance & Speed Motion, Distance & Speed – Solved Numericals Question 1 A car moves 150 m in 10 s . What is its speed in kilometres per hour (km/h)?
