The correct answer is 1030 km
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance a body such as a submarine travels depends on two main variables the time of the movement and the speed. Indeed, to calculate the distance it is possible to use the formula d = s x t. The process to calculate the distance of the submarine journey is shown below:
Distance in the first part of the journey:
It is known during the first part of the journey the submarine traveled 5 hours at a speed of 106 km/h
Distance = speed × time
D = 106 km/h × 5 h
D = 530 km
Distance in the second part of the journey:
During the remaining 4 hours (the first part took 5 hours and the total time traveled were 9 hours) the speed was 125km/h. Now, let's calculate the distance covered during this part of the journey
Distance = speed × time
D= 125 km/h × 4 h
D= 500 km
Total distance:
Finally, add both distances to know the total distance
530 km + 500 km = 1030 km
