Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf 10 \ kilometers}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is the product of speed and time.


d=s * t

The speed of the ship is 5 kilometers per hour. The time is 2 hours.

  • s= 5 km/hr
  • t= 2 hr

Substitute the values into the formula.


d= 5 \ km/hr * 2 \ hr

Multiply. Note that the hours will cancel each other out.


d= 5 \ km * 2 \\d=10 \ km

The ship covers a distance of 10 kilometers.
