Question

A jet plane travels at 40.8 km at an average speed of 340 m/s calculate how long this journey took- giveyour answer to the nearest minute

Answer 1

Answer:

$2\ \text{minutes}$

Explanation:

d = Distance traveled = 40.8 km

s = Speed of jet = 340 m/s

Time is given by

$t=\dfrac{d}{s}$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{40.8\times 10^3}{340}$

$\Rightarrow t=120\ \text{s}$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{120}{60}=2\ \text{minutes}$

The time taken to complete the journey is $2\ \text{minutes}$.
