Question

calculate the distance a plane flies on a 7.95 hour flight from Chicago to London. Assume a constant speed of 800.0 km/h

Answer 1

Answer:

6360 km

Explanation:

Use the kinematics equation $x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2$.  We are given t = 7.95 hours and a = 0 m/s^2 (constant speed means there is no acceleration).  Solve for x.

$x=(800)(7.95)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(7.95^2)\\x=6360 \ km$
