Question

A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour foe 4 hours time. What is the total distance traveled by the comet during that time

Answer 1

The distance covered by comet is
`200,000 km`

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time. It is given by the equation speed=
`\bold{(distance)/(time)}`

Thus distance=
`speed*time`

In this problem it is given that speed of comet=
`(50,000km)/(hr)`

time travelled by the comet= 4 hours

Thus distance=
`speed*time`

=
`500000*4`

=
`\bold{200,000km}`
