Question

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

Answer 1

Given:

The velocity of the comet is,

`v=2000\text{ m/s}`

The path length is,

`d=300,000\text{ m}`

To find:

The time it takes to travel

Step-by-step explanation:

The time to travel the distance by the comet is,

`\begin{gathered} t=(d)/(v) \\ =(300,000)/(2000) \\ =150\text{ s} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the required time is 150 s.
