A rocket powered sled on a track in the desert, is equipped to travel at a constant velocity of +358.0 km/h. How long does it take the rocket sled to travel +4.56 km in seconds?

Answered By Haifa B

V=displacement/time

358.0=4.56/time

time=4.56/358

 

time = 0.01273 hours

1hr=60minutes

1min=60 seconds

1hr=3600 seconds 

time = 0.01273 hours * (3600seconds/hr) = 45.85 seconds

We first list out what we know.

Initial Velocity(Vi) = Final Velocity(Vf) = 358 km/h (Since we have constant velocity)

Acceleration = 0 m/s(Constant velocity)

Distance(D) = 4.56 Km

Time = ?

We can solve for time by cancelling the km in our velocity.

4.56km / (358km/hr) = 4.56km * (1hr/358km) =  (4.56hr / 358) = 0.013 hr

0.013hr * 60 minutes * 60 seconds = 45.855 seconds

Solution:

The qestion is for the students to convert one hour into how many seconds:

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 second, therfore, the speed of the rocket sle in km/s is

v=358 km/h = 358.0 km/(3600 seconds) = 0.09944 km/s

the time required for the rocket sled to travel the 4.56 km is 

t = 4.58 km / (0.09944 km/s) = 46.01 seconds

t=
