Question

The space shuttle travels at a speed of about 7.6times10^3 m/s. The blink of an astronaut's eye lasts about 110 ms. How many football fields (length=91.4 m) does the shuttle cover in the blink of an eye? The three-toed sloth is the slowest-moving land mammal. On the ground, the sloth moves at an average speed of 0.033 m/s, considerably slower than the giant tortoise have gone relative to the sloth? Do not put units in your answer.

Answer 1

It covers distance of 9.15 football fields in the said time.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

`Distance=Speed* Time`

Thus distance covered in blinking of eye =

`Distance=7.6* 10^(3)m/s* 110* 10^(-3)s\\\\Distance=836 meters`

Thus no of football fields=
`(936)/(91.4)=9.15Fields`
