Question

An airplane leaves Orlando, Fl and travels 100,000km to Washington D.C. The flight takes 1.5 hrs. What is the velocity of the plane?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

66666.67 km/hr

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Distance (d) = 100000 km

Time (t) = 1.5 hr

We can calculate the speed knowing that it is the quotient between the distance and the time, just like this:

$\begin{gathered} v=\frac{d}{t} \\ \text{ we replacing} \\ v=\frac{100000}{1.5} \\ v=66666.67\frac{km}{hrs} \end{gathered}$

The velocity of the plane is 66666.67 kilometers per hour
