if the speed of a moon car is .124 miles/second. How long, in minutes, would it take the moon car to go 5 kilometers.
change miles/second to km/minute
time= distance/velocity
I get a little less than a minute.
To find the time it takes for the moon car to travel 5 kilometers, we need to convert the speed from miles per second to kilometers per minute.
Step 1: Convert the speed from miles per second to miles per minute.
Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, multiply the speed by 60.
0.124 miles/second * 60 seconds/minute = 7.44 miles/minute
Step 2: Convert the speed from miles per minute to kilometers per minute.
Since 1 mile is approximately equal to 1.609 kilometers, multiply the speed by 1.609.
7.44 miles/minute * 1.609 kilometers/mile ≈ 11.96 kilometers/minute
Now that we have the speed of the moon car in kilometers per minute, we can determine the time it takes to travel 5 kilometers.
Step 3: Divide the distance (5 kilometers) by the speed (11.96 kilometers/minute) to find the time.
5 kilometers / 11.96 kilometers/minute ≈ 0.418 minutes
Therefore, it would take approximately 0.418 minutes (or about 25 seconds) for the moon car to travel 5 kilometers.
