Can anyone please help with this one?
The newest jet fighter, the F-22 Raptor, cruises at 1.5 times the speed of sound. The speed of sound is 1.24x10^3 km/hr. How many hours does it take for the F-22 to fly the 5.8x10^3 km from New York to Paris? Demonstrate the use of scientific method in your calculations.
Speed = distance/time or S = d/t
1.5(1240) = 5800/t
Solve for t.
I hope this helps.
This really helps. Thanks so much!!
To calculate the time it takes for the F-22 Raptor to fly from New York to Paris, we'll use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
First, let's convert the speed of sound from km/hr to km/min for easier calculation.
1.24 x 10^3 km/hr = 1.24 x 10^3 km / (60 min/hr) = 20.67 km/min (approx.)
Now, let's calculate the time it takes for the F-22 Raptor to fly the distance from New York to Paris.
Distance = 5.8 x 10^3 km
Speed = 1.5 x Speed of Sound = 1.5 x 20.67 km/min = 31.0 km/min (approx.)
Time = Distance / Speed
= (5.8 x 10^3 km) / (31.0 km/min)
To calculate the time in hours, we need to convert the minutes to hours.
60 minutes = 1 hour
Therefore, Time (in hours) = Time (in minutes) / 60
Now we substitute the values into the equation:
Time (in hours) = [(5.8 x 10^3 km) / (31.0 km/min)] / 60
To find the answer, we plug the values into a calculator:
Time (in hours) ≈ 3.47 hours
Therefore, it takes approximately 3.47 hours for the F-22 Raptor to fly the 5.8 x 10^3 km from New York to Paris.
