Question

a rocket travels with an average speed of 6 km/s for 2 minutes. what is the distance travelled by the rocket? a. 12 km b. 12000 km c. 720 km d. 50 km

Explanation:

Step1: Convert time to seconds

We know that \(1\) minute \( = 60\) seconds. So, \(t=2\) minutes \(=2\times60 = 120\) seconds.

Step2: Use the formula \(d = v\times t\)

Given \(v = 6\) km/s and \(t = 120\) s. Then \(d=6\times120\).

$$d = 720$$

Answer:

C. \(720\) km
