Question

A rocket taking off will take 2 days to reach the Moon. The Moon is
384 000 km from Earth.
a What is the average speed of the rocket in km/h?
b The top speed on an expressway is 100 km/h. How does this speed
compare to the speed you calculated in part a?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

2 days = 48h

Average speed = total distance ÷ total time = 384000 ÷ 48 = 8000 km/h

b)

The speed calculated in (a), 8000km/h, is 80 times faster than the top speed on an expressway, 100km/h.

I’m not very sure how to answer (b) either so I’m not sure if my answer is acceptable :)
