Revision Notes — Time, Speed and Distance

Key concepts, formulas, and definitions from Time, Speed and Distance for CMAT Quantitative Techniques & Data Interpretation preparation.

Key Topics to Revise

1

Basic Concepts and Fundamental Formula

  • The fundamental relationship: Speed × Time = Distance (S × T = D)
  • Speed is the rate at which distance is covered per unit time
  • Distance is the total displacement during motion
2

Proportionalities in Time-Speed-Distance

  • Direct proportionality: Time ∝ Distance (when speed is constant)
  • Direct proportionality: Speed ∝ Distance (when time is constant)
  • Inverse proportionality: Speed ∝ 1/Time (when distance is constant)
3

Relative Speed and Motion in Straight Line

  • Relative speed when moving in opposite directions: S₁ + S₂
  • Relative speed when moving in same direction: |S₁ - S₂|
  • Meeting point determined by speed ratios when time is constant
4

Applications: Trains

  • Train problems involve length of train and crossed objects
  • Distance = Length of train + Length of object being crossed
  • Use relative speed when train crosses moving objects
