Raghu lives in a village and his school 8 km. away from the home. His father suggests buying a motorcycle to  go to the school. Raghu opposes the idea for the bicycle instead.

a)if raghu paddles the bicycle with a speed of 8 km/hr and if he wants to reach 10 minutes before the school commences what should be the duration before which he must leave his house
b) justify the stand taken by raghu in your own words.
c) write the energy transformation taking place while raghu rides his bicycle.

Dear Student

a) As Raghu's school is 8 km away so to cover this distance with speed of 8 km/hr
time taken by him is 1 Hr.

As he wants to reach the school 10 mins before then he should leave his house 1 hr 10 min before the school starts.

(b) Raghu has taken a good stand he is really concerned about environment. He choose bicycle over motorcycle to avoid noise and air pollution.

(c) Raghu rides bicycle then chemical energy from body converts into mechanical energy (kinetic energy).

Regards
