Question

A plane travels 1743 KM in 2 hours 30 minutes. How fast was the plane traveling?

Answer 1

Answer:

$v=697.2km/h$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the velocity is computed via the division of the distance traveled by the elapsed time:

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

The distance is clearly 1743 km and the time is:

$t=2h+30min*\frac{1h}{60min} =2.5h$

Thus, the velocity turns out:

$v=\frac{1743km}{2.5h}\\ \\v=697.2km/h$

Which is a typical velocity for a plane to allow it be stable when flying.

Best regards.
