Question

The space shuttle Endeavor is launched to altitude of 500,000 m above the surface of the earth. The shuttle travels at an average rate of 700 m/s. How long will it take for Endeavor to reach its orbit?

Answer 1

Answer:

Time taken by space shuttle = 714.28 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Distance cover by space shuttle = 500,000 meter

Speed of space shuttle = 700 m/s

Find:

Time taken by space shuttle

Computation:

Time taken = Distance / Speed

Time taken by space shuttle = Distance cover by space shuttle / Speed of space shuttle

Time taken by space shuttle = 500,000 / 700

Time taken by space shuttle = 714.28 m/s
