The space shuttle releases a space telescope into orbit around the earth. The telescope is traveling at a speed of 1700m/s in 25 seconds. What is the distance of the satellite?
d = v x t
d = 1700 x 25 =
Is that the correct formula?
Thank you.
we know that speed = distance travelled/time taken..
or , v = d/ t
d= v * t
Yup; its the correct formula
Yes, you are correct! The formula to calculate distance is d = v x t, where d is the distance, v is the velocity, and t is the time. To find the distance of the satellite, you can substitute the given values into the formula:
d = 1700 m/s x 25 s = 42,500 meters
Therefore, the distance of the satellite is 42,500 meters.
Yes, you're on the right track! The formula you mentioned, distance (d) equals velocity (v) multiplied by time (t), is correct for calculating the distance covered when an object travels at a constant speed.
To solve for the distance of the satellite, you can use the formula:
d = v x t
Substituting in the given values:
d = 1700 m/s x 25 s
Now, you can calculate the distance:
d = 42,500 meters
So, the distance of the satellite is 42,500 meters.
