A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour foe 4 hours time. What is the total distance traveled by the comet during that time

Respuesta :

Answer:

The distance covered by comet is [tex]200,000 km[/tex]

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time. It is given by the equation speed= [tex]\bold{\frac{distance}{time}}[/tex]

Thus distance= [tex]speed*time[/tex]

In this problem it is given that speed of comet= [tex]\frac{50,000km}{hr}[/tex]

time travelled by the comet= 4 hours

Thus distance= [tex]speed*time[/tex]

                            = [tex]500000*4[/tex]

                            = [tex]\bold{200,000km}[/tex]
