Question

1. An asteroid is traveling in a straight line at a constant speed of 327 m/s. How long will it take
for a displacement of 732 km to occur?
37.3 min.
2.24 sec.
0.62 min.
2.42 hrs.

Answer 1

Answer:

t = 37.3 minute.

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of an asteroid is 327 m/s

Displacement, d = 732 km

We need to find time. Speed is equal to distance divided by time. So,

$t=\dfrac{732\times 10^3\ m}{327\ s}\\\\t=2238.53\ s$

1 minute = 60 seconds

So,

t = 37.3 minute

So, it will take 37.3 minute.
