Given:
v = 240 km/h
t = 5 hours
Determine the speed needed to cover the same distance in 1 hour.
v = d/t
d = vt
Solution:
We must first solved the distance travelled of the aeroplane in 5 hours by substituting the values of v and t to the formula of d
d= vt
d= (240km/h)(5h)
d = 1200km
Now we need to calculate the velocity needed to cover the distance in 1 hour.
v = d/t
v = 1200km/h
Final answer:
The aeroplane must travel at a speed of 1200 km/h to cover the same distance in 1 hour.
