Question

the distance an object travels is determined by how fast it goes and for how long it moves. if an object’s speed remains constant, the formula is ( d = r cdot t ), where ( d ) is the distance, ( r ) is the speed, and ( t ) is the time.
a satellite is orbiting the earth at the rate of 25 kilometers per minute. how far will it travel in two hours?
a. 3000 kilometers
b. 50 kilometers
c. 1400 kilometers
d. 1000 kilometers

please select the best answer from the choices provided

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

Step1: Convert time to minutes

Two hours is $2\times60 = 120$ minutes.

Step2: Use distance formula

The formula is $d = r\times t$, where $r = 25$ km/min and $t = 120$ min. So $d = 25\times120 = 3000$ kilometers.

Answer:

A. 3000 kilometers
