Question

If Scoobie could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 450.0 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long would Scoobie take to drive around Earth's equator in days? Use 6200 km for the radius of the Earth. unanswered

Answer 1

Answer:

The value is $t = 3.6 \ days$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed is $v = 450.0 km/h$

The radius of the earth is $R = 6200 \ km$

Generally the circumfernce of the earth is mathematically evaluated as

$C = 2\pi R$

=> $C = 2 * 3.142 * 6200$

=> $C = 38960.8 \ km$

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{38960.8}{450.0}$

         $t = 86.6 \ hr$

Converting to days

         $t = \frac{86.6}{24}$

=>       $t = 3.6 \ days$
