Question

A spacecraft is traveling in interplanetary space at a constant velocity. What is the estimated distance traveled by the spacecraft in 9.50 seconds?

2.30 × 102 kilometers

2.42 × 102 kilometers

2.51 × 102 kilometers

3.02 × 102 kilometers

Answer 1

What is the magnitude of your velocity? Then just plug it into v=d/t, where d=displacement. You can only find distance here since it is a constant velocity

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

so whats tthe answer

Answer 4

Are you given a diagram or additional information? Your velocity is arbitrary at the moment because the magnitude nor the direction is given, but more specifically the magnitude.

Answer 5

Other than that, we are forced to assume that the spacecraft is following a velocity of 242 m/s. So just plug that in.

\(242~m/s=\frac{d}{9.50}\)

solve for d
