Question

If Scoobie could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 450.0 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long would Scoobie take to drive around Earth's equator in days? Use 6200 km for the radius of the Earth. unanswered

Answer 1

The value is
`t = 3.6 \ days`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed is
`v = 450.0 km/h`

The radius of the earth is
`R = 6200 \ km`

Generally the circumfernce of the earth is mathematically evaluated as

`C = 2\pi R`

=>
`C = 2 * 3.142 * 6200`

=>
`C = 38960.8 \ km`

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

`t = (38960.8)/(450.0)`

`t = 86.6 \  hr`

Converting to days

`t = (86.6)/(24)`

=>
`t = 3.6 \  days`
