An airplane flew from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. Approximately
halfway through the flight, the plane had traveled 2,000 km in 2.5 hours.
What was the speed during this period?
Another airplane is flying in the opposite direction. It covers the same distance in exactly 2 hours. What was its speed and direction during this period?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The solution is given below:

Explanation:

The computation of the speed is shown below

As we know that

Speed = distance ÷ time

where

distance is 2000 km

And, the time is 2.5 hours

SO, the speed is

= 2,000 ÷ 2.5

= 800 km/h

Now the distance would be the same i.e. 2,000 km

but the time is 2 hours

So, the speed is

= 2,000 km ÷ 2 hours

= 1,000 km/hr

The direction should be opposite to the first airplane
