Question

A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour foe 4 hours time. What is the total distance traveled by the comet during that time

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance covered by comet is $200,000 km$

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time. It is given by the equation speed= $\bold{\frac{distance}{time}}$

Thus distance= $speed*time$

In this problem it is given that speed of comet= $\frac{50,000km}{hr}$

time travelled by the comet= 4 hours

Thus distance= $speed*time$

                            = $500000*4$

                            = $\bold{200,000km}$
