A jet travels at 490 m/s.
How long does it take to travel 227m?
Answer in units of s
look at the units. You want to convert speed to time. So, speed already relates distance to time: m/s
But you want to end up with sec, not m, so divide meters by meters/sec to end up with sec.
m / (m/s) = m * s/m = s
They've only given you two pieces of data, so work with them:
227m / (490m/s) = 227 / 490 s = 0.46 s
To find the time it takes for the jet to travel 227 meters, you can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
In this case, the distance is 227 meters and the speed of the jet is 490 m/s. Plugging these values into the formula, we have:
Time = 227 m / 490 m/s
Now, to simplify the calculation, we divide 227 by 490:
Time ≈ 0.4633 s
Therefore, it takes approximately 0.4633 seconds for the jet to travel 227 meters.
