Question

A comet is cruising through the Solar System at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour for 4.5 hours time. What is the total distance traveled by the comet during this time?

Answer 1

The total distance traveled by the comet is 225000 [km]

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the travel distance we must use the following kinematics equation:

x = v*t

where:

x = distance traveled [km]

v = velocity = 50000 [km/h]

t = time = 4.5 [h]

x = 50000*4.5 = 225000 [km]
