Answer:

2 Kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass of the torpedo isn't really required here in this scenario.

Basically, the formula, Distance = Speed x Time is used here

So, Distance = 20 m/s x 100 s

We get 2000 metres

Convert that into kilometers if required and you get 2 kilometers.

Hope this helped.
