f a jet flies at a speed of 600 km/h, how many meters does it fly in 10 seconds? There are 1000 meters in 1 km.
600 km/h
= (600000 m)/(3600 s)
= (500/3) m/s
which is (5000/3) m in 10 seconds
To find out how many meters the jet flies in 10 seconds, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
Given that the speed of the jet is 600 km/h, and we need to calculate the distance in meters, we first need to convert the speed from km/h to m/s, since time is given in seconds.
To convert km/h to m/s, we divide the speed by 3.6 (1 km/h = 1000 m/3600 s = 1 m/s):
Speed in m/s = 600 km/h / 3.6 = 166.67 m/s (rounded to two decimal places)
Now, we can use the speed in m/s and the time of 10 seconds to calculate the distance:
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 166.67 m/s × 10 s
Distance = 1666.7 meters (rounded to one decimal place)
Therefore, the jet flies approximately 1666.7 meters in 10 seconds.
