An airplane is travelling from Vancouver to Toronto following the jet stream. The plane
cruised at an average speed of 1100 km/h for the 4000 km flight. How long did the flight take? If the plane left Vancouver at 3:00 am EST, what time did it arrive in Toronto?
please show all your steps plus the equation used to solve this problem.
time=distance/velocity=4000km/(1100km/hr)=
time arrived=3amEST+time
is the answer 3.64 hrs
which is 6:38am ?
To find the time it took for the airplane to travel from Vancouver to Toronto, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
Given:
Distance = 4000 km
Speed = 1100 km/h
Substituting these values into the formula:
Time = 4000 km / 1100 km/h
Time ≈ 3.64 hours
So, the flight took approximately 3.64 hours.
To find out the arrival time in Toronto, we need to add the flight time to the departure time.
Given:
Departure time = 3:00 am EST
We can assume that the time is in 24-hour format, so 3:00 am is equal to 03:00.
Adding the flight time to the departure time:
Arrival time = Departure time + Flight time
Since the flight time is approximately 3.64 hours, we can add this to the departure time:
Arrival time = 03:00 + 3.64
To add the decimal part of the time, we multiply it by 60 to convert it to minutes:
0.64 * 60 = 38.4 ≈ 38 minutes
Adding the minutes to the departure time:
Arrival time = 03:00 + 3 hours 38 minutes
Calculating the hours:
03 + 3 = 6
So, the arrival time in Toronto is approximately 6:38 am EST.
In equation form:
Time = Distance / Speed
Arrival time = Departure time + Flight time
Note: The actual arrival time may vary due to factors such as wind, air traffic, and other conditions.
