Question

2.A comet is traveling in outer space with a velocity of 2000 m/s. How long willit take to travel 300,000 meters?A) 2000 sB) 0.0006 sC) 6,000,000 sD) 150 s

Answer 1

`\text{time}=\text{ 150 s}`

Explanation:

Velocity is the relation between distance and time, represented by the following equation:

`\text{Velocity}=\frac{\text{ distance}}{\text{time}}`

Therefore, to determine how long will take to travel 300,000 meters at a velocity of 2000 m/s, substitute it into the equation and solve for the time:

`\begin{gathered} \text{time}=\frac{\text{ distance}}{\text{ velocity}} \\ \text{time}=(300,000)/(2000) \\ \text{time}=\text{ 150 s} \end{gathered}`
