Answer:

The requested distance is 4320 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula for velocity in this movement at constant velocity (v), which is defined as the quotient between the distance covered divided the time it took:


v=(distance)/(time)

Since we know the velocity and the time, we can solve for the distance:


\\eq v=(distance)/(time) \\18\,(m)/(s) = (distance)/(240\,\,s) \\distance=18\,*\,240\,\,m\\distance= 4320\,\,m
