Question

What distance is covered by an airplane traveling at a velocity of 660 miles per hour in 3.5 hours?

Answer 1

As per the question, the velocity of the airplane [v] = 660 miles per hour.

The total time taken by airplane [t] = 3.5 hours.

We are asked to determine the total distance travelled by the airplane during that period.

The distance covered [ S] by a body is the product of velocity with the time.

Mathematically distance covered = velocity × total time

                                                      S = v × t

                                                        = 660 miles/hour ×3.5 hours

                                                        = 2310 miles.

Hence, the total distance travelled by the airplane in 3.5 hour is 2310 miles.
