QuestionEstimate the distance Earth travels in 60 seconds at a speed of 18.6 miles per second. Use $d = rt$ .

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The speed of Earth is18.6 miles per second. We are asked to find the distance covered in60 seconds3. The speed is constant during this time

STEP 2

We can find the distance covered by using the formula for distance which is speed multiplied by time.
$Distance = Speed \\times Time$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the speed and time to calculate the distance.
$Distance =18.6\, miles/second \\times60\, seconds$

STEP 4

Calculate the distance.
$Distance =18.6\, miles/second \\times60\, seconds =1116\, miles$ So, the Earth travels approximately1116 miles in60 seconds.
