Question

An airplane leaves Orlando, Fl and travels 100,000km to Washington D.C. The flight takes 1.5 hrs. What is the velocity of the plane?

Answer 1

66666.67 km/hr

Explanation:

Given:

Distance (d) = 100000 km

Time (t) = 1.5 hr

We can calculate the speed knowing that it is the quotient between the distance and the time, just like this:

`\begin{gathered} v=(d)/(t) \\ \text{ we replacing} \\ v=(100000)/(1.5) \\ v=66666.67(km)/(hrs) \end{gathered}`

The velocity of the plane is 66666.67 kilometers per hour
