distance = speed X time at speed. Therefore, in this instance, the distance is 3 X 50 + 70 X (1/2) = 185 miles.

A train travels at 100 mph for 160 miles.How much time does this take?

Answer: 1 3/5 hours or 1 hour and 36 minutes Explanation: Distance traveled = Speed * time or solved for time is time = distance traveled / speed Plug in known values for speed and distance traveled and you will get the time it took.

What is the average speed of a tornado that travels 8 kilometers in 10 minutes?

The speed is the distance traveled divided by the time it takes to travel that distance. In this case we with divide 8 kilometers by 10 minutes to get 0.8 km/minute. One hour is sixty minutes, so this works out to 48 km/hour.


Is a light year 150 million km?

No. 150 million km is the distance from Earth to Sun, and this distance is called an AU (astronomical unit). Light travels this distance in about 8 minutes.A light-year is the distance traveled by light in a year, which of course is much more than the distance traveled in 8 minutes. A light-year is approximately 9.461 x 10 to the power 12 km.


Does a car traveling the longest time have a greater distance?

No. Distance is dependent on both length of travel and speed of travel. For example, If car A leaves location X at a certain time, and travels at 200km/hr for two hours, it travels 400km. If car B leaves the same location at the same time, and travels 50km/hr for four hours, it travels 200km. As you can see, car A traveled for half the time car B traveled while doubling its total distance traveled.

What happens to the amount of distance an object travels when it speeds up?

The distance will increase as the speed (absolute value of velocity) increases.
