Question

As Saturn revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 6

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed:                                          9.6 km/s

Distance traveled in 2 seconds: 19.2 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed: S=6 miles per second=6 miles/s

S=(6 miles/s)(1.6 km/1 mile)→S=(6)(1.6) km/s→S=9.6 km/s

S=9.6 km per second, that means in 1 second the distance traveled is 9.6 km, then in 2 seconds the distance traveled is 2(9.6 km)=19.2 km or

S=d/t

Distance: d

Time: t

Replacing the known values:

9.6 km/s=d/(2 s)

Solving for d: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 s:

(2 s)(9.6 km/s)=(2 s)d/(2 s)

19.2 km=d

d=19.2 km

Answer 2

Answer:

Speed = 9.6 km/s

Distance traveled in 2 seconds = 19.2 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that revolving speed of the Saturn around the sun = 6 miles per second

We need to convert this speed into kilometers per second.

Given that 1 mile = 1.6 kilometers so plug that into above speed. We get:

Revolving speed of the Saturn around the sun = (6)(1.6) kilometers per second.

Revolving speed of the Saturn around the sun = 9.6 kilometers per second.

Now to find distance travelled in 2 seconds, we just need too multiply the speed by time.

Distance = (9.6)(2)= 19.2 Kilometers.

Hence final answer is:

Speed = 9.6 km/s

Distance traveled in 2 seconds = 19.2 km
