Question

As Saturn revolves around the sun, it travels at a rate of approximately 6 miles per second. Convert this rate to kilometers per second. At this rate, how many kilometers will Saturn travel in 20 seconds? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to kilometers. Do no round you answer.

Answer 1

Answer 2

1. The rate in kilometers per second is 6 kilometers per second.

2. The Saturn will travel 120km in 20secs

Rate is the relationship between a quantity and time. The rate of change in distance with time is speed.

Therefore , speed is expressed as

Distance/time

1. Assuming 1 miles = 1 kilometers

6 miles = 6 kilometers

6 miles per second = 6 kilometers per second

2. speed = distance /time

distance = speed × time

= 6 kilometers per second × 20seconds

= 120km

Therefore the Saturn will travel 120km in 20secs
