Question

Un avión tarda en llegar a su destino 12 horas. Si recorrió una distancia de 10.700 kilómetros. Calcular su velocidad y expesarla en Km/h y en m/s

Answer 1

Given that,

Distance, d = 10700 km

Time taken by the airplane to complete the destination, t = 12 hours

We need to find the speed of the airplane. It is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. So,

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{10700\ km}{12\ h}\\\\v=891.66\ km/h$

We know that,

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

So,

$v=891.66\ km/h =\dfrac{891.66\times 1000\ m}{3600\ s}\\\\v=247.68\ m/s$

So, the speed of the airplane is 891.66 km/h or 247.68 m/s.
