Answer:
7.22 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
s = d/t................. Equation 1
Where s = speed of the space shuttle, d = distance traveled by the shuttle in an hour, t = time taken to travel the distance
make d the subject of the equation,
d = s×t.................... Equation 2
Given: s = 2.6×10000 feet per seconds, t = 1 hour = 3.6×1000 seconds.
Substitute these values into equation 2
d = (2.6×10000)/(3.6×1000)
d = 26000/3600
d = 7.22 feet.
Hence the shuttle travels 7.22 feet in an hour
