An air force jet flying with a
speed of 335ms-1 went past an
anti-aircraft gull. How far is the
aircraft 5s later when the gun was
fired?
A. 8.38m
B. 3.350m
C. 670m
D. 1675m
E. 67m
The distance (d) can be calculated using the formula:
d = speed × time
Given:
Speed = 335 m/s
Time = 5 s
Substituting these values into the formula:
d = 335 m/s × 5 s
d = 1675 m
Therefore, the aircraft is 1675 meters away 5 seconds later when the gun was fired.
The correct answer is option D. 1675m.
To calculate the distance the aircraft travels in 5 seconds, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
Given that the speed of the aircraft is 335 m/s and the time is 5 seconds, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Distance = 335 m/s x 5 s
Distance = 1675 m
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 1675m.
